You cannot make points in a discussion, by repeating wrong claims that
already have been shown to be misinformation. Wikipedia lists sources.
You don't.
Wikipedia lists generally non-credible "sources" that contain falsehoods.
If you need a source for some reason, feel free to quote me. You won't
find anyone else more* qualified in the Bitcoin area. (Perhaps in the
energy/climate area, but people competent on that also tend to agree
with me once they understand Bitcoin well.)
TEPCO is working on a circular hydroponics system that *consumes* CO2 ...
Ha! You choose to believe TEPCO, the company that lied to the Japanese
government for over 25 years? [1]
Having personally seen their progress thus far, I certainly believe it
over a bunch of nonsense on Wikipedia that I know to be false. They're
not the only ones working in this area, either. And there are even more
other ways Bitcoin is good for the environment that I didn't mention.

Obviously it makes no sense to allow mining on the CFarm, but to ban bona fide
Bitcoin development simply on the basis of FUD would be an absurd and firmly
anti-freedom decision.
Access to a gratis resource that’s made for the benefit of FOSS
is a privilegue, not a right. There’s no “freedom” involved.
You misunderstood me. The CFarm obviously has the right to restrict
access or usage however it wishes.
Bitcoin itself is an important tool for freedom. We are in an era where
governments regularly abuse their power over currencies, and even
private banks and money transmitters regularly abuse their position for
financial censorship. It is so bad, that if Bitcoin fails (which is a
high probability risk), I fear for my children's futures. I would have
left this project entirely by now (the death threats are numerous), if
it were not for the world's dire need of Bitcoin succeeding.
