The actual electrical consumption component is probably small relative to the emissions from the actual processing, if the numbers are at all correct. Even aluminum smelters, which do use more electricity, don’t use that much.

LFTRs are interesting though the proliferation risk probably makes it more of a political problem.

I thought LFTR breeding only produced isotopes that couldn't be used for weapons, (U-232 breeding I think), has that changed?
