it does, it doesn't have to
the network expends vast amounts of electrical energy because people are competing to earn bitcoin from that network. they will even do it at a loss because bitcoin is 9 billion dollars, and can be between 30 and 70 trillion dollars.
if they turned off their machines it would spend less energy on aggregate, and the system would be just as credible, because I would turn my machines on.
