It also happens to be a huge incentive for clean nuclear power.

I'm sure you don't want that though, because solar+batteries will power interplanetary civilizations somehow.

It's a huge incentive for more power, not for any particular kind of energy. In fact, the value of BTC is actually putting a floor on how efficient it is to close down a fossil-fuel plant.
