gollark: Oh, and you can't convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and carbon, it'd be oxygen, carbon and hydrogen.
gollark: Also, you might be able to get the carbon out as diamonds using whatever magic molecular reorganization thing you're using to do this, in which case it doesn't need to be buried and we can just use ridiculous volumes of diamond as a structural material.
