That Bitcoin mining has a disastrous energy consumption is not a new finding. Elon and Tesla knew that and decided to go for bitcoin anyways. And they made alot of profit from that.

For me that seems as if they came to the (correct) conclusion that BTC is not the future. Justifying that decision with the climate impact feels like a bad excuse.
