Assuming problems are worth the energy usage in the first place :)
How many Java apps do you think are out there that are not even worth the energy that they're using to run? How many absolutely asinine startups selling DRM-controlled juicers or internet connected water bottles or NFTs?
I'm not saying that every project that runs on Node or Python or whatever is worth the extra energy it uses, but this is kind of a silly argument to make with the kind of stuff coming out of the tech industry these days.
