Yes, electricity is finite. Just because you could add more power generation doesn’t mean it’s infinite, c’mon now.
you might say that the grid can only support a certain load at a some given time, but obviously more energy could be provided.
in any case, i think it's silly to concern ourselves with (specifically Bitcoin's) energy consumption, as it's tiny compared to the efficiency gains that are realized elsewhere as a result of bitcoin's adoption.
