Using power is never a net good, regardless of the type of power. If we don't need more power for something specific, the ideal is to just not build more power - consumption is not some noble goal.
Unless we believe that Bitcoin has some use, its power consumption would be problematic even if it weren't so monstrously large. And vanishingly few people believe Bitcoin has any value beyond a get rich quick scheme.
