Bitcoin is hardly used in day to day life. It is designed so that energy use increases with coin price. If Bitcoin became a mainstream currency used even by one country for a lot of things energy usage goes up even more.
I am ignoring a lot of things here: transactions per second can’t support it but let’s assume LN works well and also energy required to keep expanding may not be available (only one nearby star) which makes POW more Proof of Asic but potentially makes the network vulnerable.
