You haven't solved the fee problem if you haven't solved the energy problem.

I'm not sure what your reasoning here is, but you're wrong. LN basically allows you to dramatically expand the number of transactions per block. The blocks still take energy to mine, but the per-transaction fee gets sharply reduced.
