I think you have the electricity on the wrong side of the minus sign.

So creating a BTC yields positive electricity?

No, but if I told you shining a flashlight on quarters made them more valuable you probably wouldn't agree.

And it is worse than that, each transaction consumes a bit of electricity (in a hand wavy sense anyway; the chain must go on for the coins to have any worth).
