I think it makes sense and aligns with the article's point. Unless we are at a point where clean energy is ubiquitous (there is no other kind), using power for mining or other power intensive processes which do not help us achieve our climate goals should be off-limits.

Exercise? Banned - it increases your daily caloric needs. Food? Why would you need food? Eat your government rations. Why should we prefer some activities over others by government decree?
