If BTC could be mined like dollars can be printed (and therefore, lead to a manipulation of the money supply) would the White House stand by its proposed 30% tax on the energy costs of mining?

White House Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) claims, “Currently, crypto mining firms do not have to pay for the full cost they impose on others, in the form of local environmental pollution, higher energy prices, and the impacts of increased greenhouse gas emissions on the climate.”

If the currency was centralized, what would the CEA have to say about its impacts on climate change?
