Sorry, my comment was tongue-in-cheek. In my opinion, it takes quite a bit of hypocrisy or doublethink for people who drive cars (but not bycicles), who live in apartments or houses (but not in dormitories), to type on their Macs and iPhones (but not the cheapest barely-working lagging knockoff dumbphone) about Bitcoin’s waste or pollution with plastic straws, all while having their free time, instead of working in Gulags. There’s a market price for electricity, anyone who pays can do whatever they want with it. Just stop the subsidies, include externalities in the price, and let things figure themselves out. Let people consume, and enjoy life, let them have hobbies, and do stupid things that they pay for.
