"If scaled up" presumes incorrectly that the costs are somehow linearly bound to the number of transactions, they are not, so that whole line of reasoning is flawed.
My lifestyle of keeping my high-end PC running all the time, cranking the AC down to 68, turning all the lights on, and so on, would of course use less energy than YouTube. But if everyone behaved as I do it'd be a bad thing (don't tell Kant).
