Which metropolis in the world doesn’t have 100-story-high banking towers, glowing in a million different colors all night, and their financial systems, their computers, server rooms. How much energy does Facebook consume? They have 21 huge data centers worldwide, I’d say probably more than Bitcoin. The banking system for sure consumes a lot more energy.

Well, let's see, a quick Google tells me it's 5.1TWh in 2019, so not even close to Bitcoin. "I'd probably say" is key for "I couldn't take 3 seconds to check my suspicion because I believe what I want to believe." Then to also compare it to the banking system is nonsensical. If Bitcoin were to replace all of our banking, it'd be consuming orders of magnitude more power, as it is currently designed.
