Are we optimizing for a fair playing field? Or a playing field where one can be advantaged? If my authoritarian government bans mining, my energy usage is easy to track down, and I am disadvantaged. If my nation state has an abundance of cheap hydro energy, I am advantaged (and miners flock here to take advantage, centralizing mining into this geographic area).
