OTOH the whole thing is about voltages, fans and temperature sensors, right? Then there's a package called lm-sensors, so why not --sensors or --sensors-dump? "Environment" is also quite ambiguous, and the -s is still available, so --sensors* would be my favourite.
The term Environmental Controller comes straight from the ITE datasheet. This 'sensors' thing might again be confused with only the read-out of the sensors itself, like lm-sensors (which I omitted from the list, as I'm only interrested in the settable configuration stuff). It's not only the sensors, but more the parameters for automatic control of fans by these sensors and the masking of interrupts that might be generated, that is of importance for the BIOS to set-up properly.
I still like --ec-dump best...
