I wouldn't doubt that it sure does! The debatable point, IMO, is whether an energy efficient PoS mechanism could be as or more resilient to attacks. That PoS validator hardware requirements are infinitesimally smaller than PoW miner hardware requirements suggests that PoS can potentially be far more decentralised. Also, PoW is in the regulatory crosshairs of the EU and other jurisdictions, which feels like an additional attack surface of a different type, which doesn't exist for PoS, which uses a fraction of the energy.
