gollark: Plants are bad, actually.
gollark: Run them directly off thermal energy beamed from orbit with giant mirrors.
gollark: Semiconductor stuff, as far as I know, involves vast amounts of random chemicals and many steps, which aren't *inherently* CO2-uous but probably cost a lot of energy to produce.
gollark: Presumably just anything involving multiple processing steps could do that, even.
gollark: That seems like a weird worst-case scenario. I'm pretty sure there are things with more CO2 output than that.
