How is that lucky?

Lucky for Bitcoin, there's a clear path to reducing environmental impact.
Or we could use that power for something a little more practical which we can’t do without.
Are you advocating for some sort of central authority who regulates what individuals use power for?
We already have that for large classes of equipment.
And you want to extend that to any device that plugs into an outlet?

Just trying to get your position straight here.

It already does, if a particular regulated activity involves plugging devices into outlets.

What else might we think you were doing?

What we? These are individuals, each with their own goals. Give them some other business opportunity and I'm sure they'll jump on it - it just needs to be as good as Bitcoin.
My (and others) livelihood depends on the existence of crypto currency. Seems pretty practical to me.
