It's true, but wireless charging is still inefficient and should be avoided.

It’s literally a few watt hours. Not kilowatt hours, watt hours. I pay $0.08 per kwh, so after a few years of wireless charging I might pay $1 more
But the USB-C cord might break in less than that time and cost more. Manufacturing cords is never going to be green, but electricity can be made renewable

The charging pad might also break and they require cables themselves, plus all the materials to make the charging pad, plus every phone has to support wireless, which is even more materials. I've never broken a USB-C cable, that's a user issue, you are either being way too aggressive with them, buying low quality ones, or both.
