You can swap Monero with a more common coin on a decentralized exchange with no KYC, and then cash that out at your Coinbase or whatever.

Also, Monero is very efficient for a proof of work coin, partially because it's designed to be mined on regular, consumer grade PCs.

According to Google, it uses somewhere between 645 and 650 GWh annually, compared to between 150 and 204.4 Terawatt-hours (TWh) for Bitcoin.
