> Humanity will continue to require energy as it advances and banning anything "because it uses too much energy" is a ridiculous advice.

Not right now it's not. Not when we have constraints on how much CO2 we can pump into our atmosphere.

Right now, and I mean right now, when we're having huge problems de-carbonising the planet's energy supplies and are risking making life very uncomfortable for ourselves for decades or centuries to come, limiting energy use is actually one of the few levers we have to try to make a difference.

In this current situation, bringing online a whole new mid-sized country's worth of energy consumption for a financial instrument is ridiculous, and a huge own-goal for humanity.
