It is bad regardless what fuel you use. Bitcoin uses a proof-of-waste system which scales to any amount of resources available. If some day we had nearly limitless energy from fusion reactors and ran the economy on Bitcoin, there would be a

In my experience the dataloader approach is simpler once you need even a modest amount of logic to decide what should be loaded. Basically a dynamic vs. static scheduling decision. E.g. you have IDs for a heterogeneous collection of items,
