To be provably secure, it has to utilise 51% of matter-energy kinda like a black hole. If the energy consumption is figured out then it needs something else i.e. matter. I can't see a way out of this circle. Then there's the famous formula E=mc².

Bitcoin is the only project that is running PoW on a higher scale but even with that higher scale it doesn't come anywhere near in the top list that contributes to environmental damage aka climate change and whatever they claim it to be.
Reducing the hah power will give more chance for someone to get 51% of the total network then they can able to manipulate the blocks so the higher the hash rates the better the decentralization will be.

4. What methods do you think can be used to reduce the energy consumption of POW?
POS or proof of stake is already an alternative mechanism of POW in which it uses less energy and is less complex than its equivalent the problem with POS is it might not be as secure as POW
