And who is to blame for so few transactions fitting in a single block? What is the energy consumption of the petrodollar-backed wars in the middle east? Presenting numbers without discussing the alternative is sophistic misdirection.

The "alternative" to bitcoin is the "energy consumption of wars"?

I think you're going to have to provide a bit more evidence, there.

Tell me more about how Bitcoin uses a reasonable amount of energy while it grows and scales to use exponentially more. My SUV/Vacation energy usage doesn't need to grow. I'm putting Bitcoin energy usage in context compared to daily life. You are the one who is misdirecting. "Whatabout!?" driving an SUV, that's bad amirite?
