I don't think you understand what you think GP doesn't understand. Bitcoin uses energy to establish distributed consensus. What's technologically missing from the protocol is an energy-efficient way to establish distributed consensus, not a faster PoW algorithm.

Bitcoin is the most energy efficient way to establish distributed and trust less consensus. Have better ideas - link me to your whitepaper, I’m sure you will become more famous than satoshi.
