I hear ya, that's why I mentioned earlier that the new crypto to take over and become mainstream will be the one that solves the 3 big problems (just look for the longwinded post I made a while ago explaining), I found it, here you go.
It's a problem for sure, more people are getting on the environmental side of the debate so it keeps coming up. They'll never pull the plug though and make it irrelevant, just slow down the mining if the big factories stop doing it.
Just like weed, there'll always be people doing it somewhere (mining) even illegally if they have to, but the limit is 21 million coins and we're already over 18 million in ~12 years of existence. However that's not to infer that crypto is an illicit currency or is only used to buy illegal things.
However the difficulty of mining increases exponentially as more coins are mined so it will be a good number of years before we reach the peak and by that time they will either expand the network, although as I previously mentioned, a new, more better and environmentally friendly version 2.0 crypto coin will have taken over by then, but that's only my prediction based on experience.
Society has at least 50 years to solve that problem and there's a lot of highly intelligent computer scientists out there already working on it so if you are interested, look into it and do what you think is right.
Everyone has their own opinion and this is mine. No disrespect to anyone.
