The issue I have with your proposal is that it discloses too much metadata to tax authorities in order to enforce compliance. They'll have an almost perfect map of the legal compute in their jurisdiction. Access to compute should be free to all and not gated by taxes.

Tax on electricity is already a thing. That can be adjusted and even be made progressive. Extra for fossils and so on.
