if we agree that any arbitrary reasoning of anyone else is sufficient to override other people's peaceful use of their property, it should be pretty obvious that the consequences of that is constant appropriation and re-appropriation, then huge conflicts.
First, this!
I lived in a socialist country until the '90 and I know what the toxic idea of someone telling people that their property is better used by the state brings!
Don't want to go there anytime soon, I've had my portion of hell, thank you!
Now, on to a bit of a misunderstanding (or at least I think so)
sorry, but you're still equally wrong for equally unethical reasons. the miners paid to consume that electricity, and it's none of your business or anyone else's.
I never disagreed with this.
To explain the situation better, let me give you an example.
I own a car, I love to drive my car to work, shopping, almost everything. But I know that if we ever reach the percentage of personal car ownership as the US, we (my town with me included) we're f&**&. Because there is no way in hell our five-century old city will be able to take that traffic.
At the same time, I don't advocate for a congestion tax or for any other stupid thing like that, but I know that there is an increase in people driving cars around here I will spend not 30 minutes but 3 hours in queues.
Because it's obvious congestion will happen, right?
Do I have a solution for it...no, all I can do is wait and pray it won't happen.
Is this making me a car hater or some bicycle lover? I can't even ride one!!!
The same with miners, I am not for any kind of limiters imposed on mining ( one of my fears is that miners getting bankrupt might lead to some people like a fake satoshi being able to buy gear at scrap metal price, and you know what that would bring).
But, as we are right now, it is inevitable that something will happen.
Denying that this will not be a problem in the future because it's not a problem right now is never a good idea.
It's also probable that I'm wrong and in 10 years while I visit this forum I will facepalm myself thousands for saying these. Time will tell.

Oh, and back on the subject.
This girl is not an environmentalist nor does she care for it.
Environmentalists care first about what they can do for the environment.
The ones that are going first after other's people money are socialist, a different breed altogether, same like orcs descending from elves.
