I'm guessing you didn't click through to this article with graphs related to that very question.
If one believes those graphs, and i see no reason not to,
here are the number of US Households which could be powered by the current energy consumption of various transaction networks:
bitcoin: 4.2 million
ethereum: 1 million
visa: 0.017 million
so visa is 1/200th as energy-consumptive than bitcoin. that's two orders of magnitude plus a factor of two.
that same page reports that a single bitcoin transaction, just one, consumes enough energy to power a US household for 15 days.
yeah, i think banning should be considered.
it's okay, i wrote them all in mirror-font.
