You're right.

Though, the article is meant to investigate the media's disproportionate response to BTC vs the banking system. To illustrate that crypto is a 'green' move in general, I highlight high-performance chains with very low environmental impacts. Please notice how I state in the second paragraph that "We can do better" and that "Green cryptos do exist". May have been better served to elaborate on this. Though, I may have gotten off message... ehh

Awesome comment, and I'm inclined to support your view that those mentioned here are mere coincidence. Tough job trying to follow a flawed topical lead by mainstream media.
