Bitcoin is not governed by spending energy and CPU. In fact all miners on earth could disappear except a guy with a Pentium IV on his basement doing all the BTC mining on the world, and it would still work. The difficulty of the hashing would adjust so that it would be possible for his weak slow guesses to send a block every 10 min.
