user14236: Does scrypt mining inherently confer any environmental benefit or energy efficiency for the same level of service provided?

user5406: No. It is exactly the same balancing mechanism: Electricity and acquisition cost vs revenue.
I would expect the total environmental impact to turn out similar for a given revenue value.
But then, maybe I'm missing something. I'm curious for other answers.
