El Salvador President Nayib Bukele plans to introduce legislation that will make it the world's first sovereign nation to adopt bitcoin as legal tender.
I also think its a confusing metric. It would be like saying the energy cost of a USD transaction is totally expenditure of energy of the US military + the cost of the bank infrastructure energy cost divided by the number of USD transaction. The block reward is essentially a defense budget. That said I would defiantly support decreasing the defense budget for all parties.
Mining has nothing to do with transactions. Mining can consume huge amount of energy, but btc transaction is just a blockchain operation.
uuhm, i’m confused by what you’re trying to convey: mining is quite literally the process of processing and validating transactions…

There are other transaction methods (like lightning).
for sure, but how is this relevant?
There is actually no need in such energy wasting for transactions.
yes, which is why bitcoin bad, which is what I was saying in my initial comment 😅
