Each Bitcoin transaction uses 4,200 gallons of water — enough to fill a swimming pool — and could potentially cause freshwater shortages (www.tomshardware.com)

The mining isn't based on transactions, the mining is set to target a 10 minute block time, the difficulty changes based on how much mining capacity there is.

If a block takes less than 10 minutes the difficulty goes up. If it takes more the difficulty goes down.

Each block has a maximum capacity of 2500 transactions, which is why gas is used to prioritize who gets added in a block.

There have been many blocks with zero transactions.
