However, correct me if I'm wrong here because I'm not that much invested in bitcoin as a tech or investment, but isn't almost half of the energy used on bitcoin generated from renewables? I could swear I saw an article about it somewhere.

It's still wasted energy. If it wasn't used on bitcoins, it would have been used on other things - some of which had to be powered by fossil fuels.
