The one misleading narrative about Bitcoin that has been killed completely in mainstream media:

the "Bitcoin is bad for the environment/uses too much energy"

Because of this, its no longer a reputational risk for people to talk about Bitcoin mining solves energy problems.

As a result, Since 2024, a group of Bitcoin mining advocates is now making good strides forward across the world in talk with energy companies and governments about getting Bitcoin mining helping solve major and concurrent problems around their ailing grids, behind-schedule NZE targets, and near-EOL renewable and battery subsidy programs.

Right. AI uses 10x the energy of Bitcoin mining, so it’s a nonsensical concern anymore.
