Heat has a quality scale … high pressure, high temperature, high thermal capacity heat (steam) is the best.

Low temp, low pressure, low thermal capacity (ambient air) is poor quality.

Some of this is just thermodynamic fact … poor quality waste heat doesn’t generate electricity cost effectively.

Bitcoin mining is about the cheapest sources of electricity. The difficulty adjustment eventually punishes expensive sources of electricity applied to the network.

TL;DR - bitcoin does NOT fix this

Meh quality can depend on perspective
