Choosing the wrong language doesn’t usually come with multiple order of magnitude differential in energy costs. Or changing the security guarantees being offered - that’s usually at the application layer.

As an example, you’re open to Sybil attacks, and ongoing costs of mining. You need to understand the economics behind the chain you chose to make sure it doesn’t die, and hand off the key management to land owners.

When we have a simpler solution that doesn’t burn the planet, and is easily understood by everyone - as engineers it is our responsibility to have a really compelling reason to ignore it. I don’t see it here.
