"who gets to decide what a "good" use of electricity is?"

Our legislators and regulators, because that's their job.

Just like we ban heroin, regulate over the counter drugs, and tax alcohol.

Mining BTC is a waste of everyone's time.

Electricity production is partly socialized - and - we're literally facing a kind of global crisis.

Ban it, and let the Cryto Warriers figure out other, better ways (of which there are numerous) for allocating magic numbers.
