that is not the ugly side of "bitcoin", i would go as far as saying it has nothing to do with bitcoin. it is all about the ugly side of the electric producing companies that have been producing it inefficiently and with lots of pollutions. bitcoin is just using what is offered to it by them. we can't change everything. we have revolutionized the concept of currency from being centralized to being decentralized, you can't expect us to also revolutionize the electricity production too!
Power stations do not always use the most environmentally friendly ways to produce electricity. Yes, for mining bitcoins you need a lot of electricity, but this is how our world works. Almost all devices and even many vehicles now use only electricity.
