The linked website attempts to quantify the impact with some stated assumptions. You’ve stated some alternative assumptions, but haven’t quantified the conclusions to determine if they hold. I’ve been long on Bitcoin, but I am exiting my position over concerns about the environment impact. I don’t think it’s plausible that a proof-of-work based blockchain can be anywhere near as efficient as centralized ledgers are. If any of the proof-of-stake based solutions ever gain traction, maybe I’ll participate in those. |

Yeah, no one ever claimed that they would be more efficient. If you have invested assuming the efficiency is the main goal, you have been misled. What they do provide is efficient decentralized ledgers, which is a whole other game completely.
