That would depend on where the financial motivation to produce renewable energy is coming from.

A logical argument could be made that bitcoin encourages the production and advancment of green energy technologies by rewarding such efforts with wealth generation.

Oh BS I keep hearing about bitcoin farms that get shut down because they are stealing electricity. That is more likely than someone running one on solar and wind. AND that solar/wind would've been better used to offset a fossil fuel source of electricity than being used on completely and utterly fake and worthless "money"
