NFTs are a force for good!?!

Even when applied at an extremely large scale? Anyway, I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe blockchain technology will be more sustainable in the future, but until we're there, I'm against it. If we ever get to a suistainable point, we can start talking about actual use cases more seriously (which I'm not optimistic about, mind you, because there isn't much NFTs can do that hasn't been possible for a long time already).

Sustainable blockhain platforms are used in a large scale. For example Tezos last year carbon footprint was equal to that of the average footprint of 17 people and they had 33 million transaction last year.

Solano last year had 20 billion transactions and energy usage equate to 1038 American households. BTW one solano transaction takes 65 times less energy than play 1 minute of a video game on the Playstation 5.

I'd consider pretty much any hyped blockchain technology to be not very widely used, considering the amount of growth potential there is. That is, it's only going to get worse. Additionally, doesn't the computational cost of a single transaction go up all the time, making each transaction more harmful than the others before it? I'd like to see estimates about the future instead of statements about the present - preferably from independent parties instead of those pushing for the adoption of blockchain tech.
