If there were a way to represent BCH's better energy proposition through on-chain proofs, do you think miners will buy in?

I think being open about BCH's energy usage (particularly when compared to transaction throughput) would be a positive signal to establish. It would also shine a light on miners with a negative carbon footprint and motivate a more sustainable operation.

1. Do you think miners would put themselves under this sort of self-regulation? 1a. What do you think would be a good way to measure interest?
2. Do you think miners would be motivated to be a carbon neutral operation?
3. Would anyone be interested in pursuing this sort of effort if there were sufficient interest?

Here's an example of what the dashboard might look like: https://filecoin.energy/

Here's an example of what someone might do with that data: https://filrep.io/?columns=energy&order=desc&sortBy=energy
