Tbf as clean energy alternatives become more accessible miners will probably move over to using those, lessening environmental impact in the long term.

This is a fallacy in thinking imo. That clean energy could be better used for more essential things. Hoarding clean energy to 'justify' doing useless complex math problems isn't helping the environment. Nor will it solve the scalability problem.

I mean clean energy will need to become universal to stop the climate crisis. At a certain point were gonna be using clean energy for gaming. As for the scalability issue I'm not really aware of that so I can't really speak on it.
