Never say never, but I think it's probably impossible to solve specific business problems and still have some hypothetical PoW crypto be decentralized, trustless, secure, etc.
Is that necessarily a problem? To me, it isn't.
IMO, everything here comes down to a question of competing values.
> If you generally trust the government and our institutions to manage money, you'll probably view PoW crypto as unacceptably polluting almost no matter what.
> If you generally distrust the government and the ruin they can do to the currency, there's almost no amount of pollution you won't accept to save yourself from the misery of hyperinflation and the horrors that can come from that.
There's no reconciling these two worldviews.
