Say They're Spearheading a 'Green Mining' Initiative
summary
A newly announced bitcoin mining council commits miners to publish current and planned renewable usage and to set a baseline for energy usage transparency, promising periodic disclosure rather than software changes. The concrete product is a self-reported registry and public statements; no enforcement mechanism is described. Market reaction already lifts price, while critics warn of centralization risk; organizers stress the association is voluntary and note mining’s physical portability as a practical check on consolidation.
