Just some thoughts and I would like peoples opinions on them: Maybe BC shouldn't start a public smear campaign against BTC and its energy wastefulness until BC can stand completely on its own (until it is not heavily dependent on BTC like every alt is). At this point, anything that might hurt public perception of BTC would likely hurt all of crypto including BC. Also, and I think others have pointed this out before, if you are going to try and sell BC as energy efficient you better be prepared for people being critical of the hypocrisy that is the multipool. And if you consider the fact that BC was the altcoin which started the altcoin multipool fad... what is the real effect of BC on energy consumption? (I think one good counterargument for the "wastefulness" of the multipool is  that the majority of BC miners would just be mining something else if it weren't for BC and in that sense it is not additional energy waste just redirected energy waste)
