Ethereum doesn't have an energy problem, energy have an Ethereum problem. Don't get me wrong, it's great that they are working on becoming more effective but the idea that we should judge new technology purely on it's environmental impact as we see these days is counterproductive to progress. Progress from 0 to 1 will always be less effective than the optimization that follows. We should be much more focused on how to make sure that any technologies energy usage doesn't become an issue by creating clean technologies with high energy density, which are reliable, plentiful and scaleable and doesn't require backup sources.
