Wow, I thought I was back on reddit with the tech fear mongering.

A single Ethereum transaction now uses only 0.02 kWh of electrical energy and has a carbon footprint of 0.01 kgCO2, which is much lower than the average values for a debit transaction or PayPal.

A quick search gives me .0015 kWh per card transaction, but that could be wrong.
