Bitcoin does not consume too much energy.

It consumes enough energy. Bitcoin must always consume as much energy as possible. even though technology makes energy cheaper and computation more efficient, blocks must always be as difficult as possible to generate.

If difficulty becomes low it becomes too easy to attack the network with fraudulent blocks.

its possible that only one proof of work consensus algorithm in the world should be operational.
