> Bitcoin can use energy in places you couldn’t get to before

You're suggesting a scenario where, instead of using energy at point A to do useful work, we use energy at point B to generate Bitcoin to buy energy at point A to do the useful work. In this scenario,

  1. the same amount of energy is still being generated at point A, and
  2. an incredible amount of additional energy is being generated at point B for no reason
