My take is that it's not about creating new workloads, but about letting the natural increase in other people's workloads run on existing processors instead of driving demand to create new processors. The same logic would apply to cars. The problem is, those workloads should be performed in a data center, not in a distributed residential fashion, for power efficiency that would likely be green enough to overshadow the extra manufacturing. The same logic would apply to cars: manufacture trains instead.
