At a large enough scale, it doesn't matter how efficient you are - you're still causing a more damage than the region or the world can take.
There's also a lot of folks out there with no sense of scale getting "dihydrogen-monoxieded" by scaremongering tactics like measuring power consumption in number of atomic bombs.
Except that's not what you see people be up in arms about, or news reporting. Just like with a lot of other topics.
There being a grain of truth or a valid angle doesn't wash bullshit from being bullshit.
