Sir, right off the top you lead with some dubious info.
The ewaste paper is generally discredited because of incorrect lifetime estimates.
25% of mining is still done by a 5 yo model (S9).

For the energy FUD I refer you to the fine work of Nic Carter.

Also the miningpool / 50% FUD is a fundamental misunderstanding of how mining pools work.
As a miner, it would only take me seconds to remove my hashrate from a bad pool, and advancements like stratum V2 make these attacks impractical.
