Bitcoin's energy needs

I've been thinking about how bitcoin, more specifically, bitcoin mining is incentivizing the search for "cheaper" energy. A competition of sorts, for better/more efficient forms of energy production. So we're essentially trading cheaper and cheaper forms of energy for sats that increase in value over time. Talk about incentives.

If the value of bitcoin goes high enough, will competition become so fierce that it might lead to breakthroughs in energy production as a result? Currently mining companies are building ontop of landfills to capture the methane that is otherwise leaking into the atmosphere. We already made cold fusion work on small scale, and my cracked theory is that mining will eventually become so competitive that it would lead to great advancements in the ultimate form of energy, fusion(imo). Bitcoin would inadvertently lead to commercial fusion. Am I off the meds and need to get some sleep? Or am I just so crazy, that I might be right?
