Does it though? There are so many things to consider when talking about the "energy usage" of traditional money. All the vans moving money around, manufacturing, items to support PoS systems, sorting, protecting the money and so on.

Yes, so many things that BTC will never do. It's vastly less efficient and offers nothing like the range of services and products of the existing finance system.
