So? A running car consumes gas even when it's idle. My parents used to measure MPG at every tank refill, which was a combination of miles, idle, braking, etc.
We can certainly take an average of transactions to get a reasonable number for watts/transaction.

Can a car go trillions of miles per gallon? Because Bitcoin block can contain trillions of transactions every 10 minutes. > We can certainly take an average of transactions to get a reasonable number for watts/transaction. You can, it’s just not useful.
