Not really. The network spends those kWh whether you send your transaction or not.

It's also worth to note that nobody really knows how many kW miners really burn. All the figures are more or less educated guesses from the efficiency of equipment sold publicly. If someone has a more efficient method they probably won't share it.

But nobody accused Bitcoin of being efficient, ever. That's what almost everyone notices when reading about it first time.
