They are not proof of work coins - they can interact with the EVM - Ethereum virtual machine - via separate and faster blockchains. So no mining.

Different consensus algos. Staking and using validators uses so some power is used but not as muck as BTC and ETH mining. And that mining is a drop in the bucket compared to large datacenters hosting internet and cloud services.
