Conclusions from article...

Bitcoin may just be a casino for degenerate gamblers, but this casino serves as the buyer of last resort for electricity produced everywhere in the world. The positive impact of the presence of a buyer of last resort in the energy market is hard to overstate.

As Bitcoin disseminates through the world, Bitcoin mining will:

Increase energy efficiency by utilizing wasted energy
Finance the exploration of “stranded” (and often renewable) power sources
Push the learning and adoption curves for renewable energy

That sounds a whole hell of a lot more environmentally friendly than paper straws.
