This might be a good argument if:
A) the environmental impact of manufacturing a solar panel is 0 and carbon neutral itself (it's not),
B) there's an excess of solar panels available too (not really),

D) there's nowhere better for mankind to deploy the capital used in deploying miners and renewable power production than for cryptocurrency mining (dubious).
