as a rule of thumb, electronics will take as much energy to produce as they will use in their lifetime. A silicon chip is a very expensive resistor which has already consumed enormous energy to produce (another rule of thumb, the cost of silicon is double the cost of the energy it took to produce)

also if you google "bitcoin miner radiator" there's a few attempts. Apparently there's a spa in NYC that heats their water with ASICs
