Long text full of errors. Yes there is a mechanism to prioritize other uses of energy than mining. It's the market. Energy is usually sold between 0.1$ and 0.25$ per kWh while Bitcoin only buys for 0.05$ per kWh. Energy producers WILL sell to the highest offer, which is never Bitcoin unless it's the only option. It is almost always more profitable to just buy Bitcoin than mine it, which is why it's rarely done. Taking that into account, we can discard the rest of your comment

They could but they won't. Bitcoin pays 0.05$ per kWh, that's close to 0, the only energy that goes into mining is energy that wouldn't have gone anywhere else. Energy is hard to store and sometimes there just isn't enough demand. That's what goes into Bitcoin, and there is no ecological problem with that

You think having thousands of bankers use their car twice a day is better? It's so much worse

Yeah it counts water that flows into streams that makes no sense
