So?

It’s so frustrating having these discussions about energy consumption.

If you make a statement about the absolute energy consumption of a PoW blockchain, the first response usually is “But this other thing consumes way more energy!!!!”

In order to compare the consumption of the network to anything you will need to calculate it by some unit of utility. Transactions is the only metric that makes sense.
