Doesn't solve PoW pollution issues.

Pollution is equal to resource use, which is equal to mining rewards.

Mining rewards are proportional to market price, not # of transactions.

So lightning could help with scale (I dont think it will) but wont help with resource waste

There’s no such thing as PoW pollution. Think of solar panels, wind power and fuel burn offs, all power at the edge, made efficient by PoW, not socialistic PoS nonsense.
