I've always found that argument presumptuous.
How do you know that someone in this comment section isn't researching a revolutionary way to generate clean electricity? How do you know that the next Elon Musk isn't lurking around here? Maybe that person will have a bigger impact than Bill Gates? Maybe that person is financing their studies thanks to Bitcoin gains? How can you possibly know all of that and just say: Only person X has a pass to be wasteful because no one else here has a net positive impact on the environment.
