Dollar is pegged to oil, while Eth is now proof of stake. Right now the people in the US are high on power and oil, and can't care for the environment, if the power is decentralized with crypto there may be a change of attitude toward too much consumption, but that is just an assumption.
P.S: Also the accel v. decel debate is long and philosophical and doesn't seem to have an end. I am more of a decel guy, I think tech should be used sparsely and on point, not for everything and anything.
