If you're trying to argue that the number of transactions per block is variable (I think that's what you're trying to argue? You're doing a terrible job of it) the point is that's is a *maximum* number of minimum-sized transactions, and you can use that to do the calculation.

similarly, points of sale worldwide consume massive amounts of power in aggregate, but that'd be true regardless of the payment system used
Bitcoin points of sale (real ones participating in the network) would use way more energy than traditional ones anyway. You can't run bitcoind on a tiny embedded platform with megabytes of storage.

yes you can. There are thousand of raspberry pi 3 bitcoin nodes right now. and many lightning nodes at the same hardware that can handle 10x transactions than the traditional banking system. I dont know any bank to run in a system like this

You don't seem to understand the concept of "megabyte". I'm talking about things like POS terminals, which have much, much smaller CPUs than a Raspberry Pi, much less RAM and storage. And Lightning cannot handle the transaction volume of traditional banking, not even close.
