Currently most quibits require cryogenic cooling so without a breakthrough in room temperature superconductors etc. we could easily end up in a situation where quantum computing is used for specialized tasks where it is faster than conventional computing but the end result is more energy expenditure overall.

Edit: clarified the wording
