Natural gas has practical value. Bitcoin has none. From an actual "what makes the planet better to live on" perspective emitting carbon for bitcoin is awful and we should be creating policies to ensure it does not happen.

Destroying the Maldives and our energy reserves for currency could be sane from a self-interest perspective but absolutely insane from a global one.
