Not sure what you're talking about, energy usage of crypto is a huge issue. Plenty of people bitch about it and plenty of people working to make it more efficient. Lots of chains are proof of stake which requires far less energy than proof of work. Helium kind of uniquely uses proof of coverage which requires almost no energy. A "miner" burns about 5 watts.

Also I think a lot of people would be surprised at how much energy the "traditional" financial system requires. Crypto could very well end up significantly reducing the impact of the financial sector.

If you believe and/or care about that stuff.
