That's not the argument being made in >>17,19. Read the posts again. They do not mention energy-efficiency at all, they don't even imply it. They talk about "language efficiency", without mentioning what it is supposed to be.
The question is not about the programmers' time. Your careless Python programs are destroying the planet and we are all going to die because of you. Your time is not worth more than the time of the whole of humanity and all other living beings. Energy efficiency is important for everyone other than programmers.
