"We ask that the use and possession of Proof-Of-Work cryptocurrencies be banned, with a one year max wait period to let the various projects transition to other technologies, like Proof-Of-Stake (so that nobody loses money, and this is already happening in Ethereum)". Ugh, I think that says it all.

Yeah, this is a much better solution.

You can't really ban proof-of-work practically anyway, but you can make quite easily make dirty electricity more expensive than clean electricity.
