Maybe a few more bitcoin mining warehouses and datacenters for “ai” will offset this. Perhaps a few sweetheart deals where all available “renewable” energy gets diverted to such facilities, meaning traditional carbon-emitting sources have to be kept ramped up… maybe that will help. While we’re at it, those sweetheart deals should be further offset by rate increases to everyone else.

Oh, and double while we’re at it all the big tech companies claiming they’re already or at least definitely on the way to carbon neutral by purchasing carbon credits should be allowed to do everything they want. This always bodes well.

In case it’s needed: I’m being sarcastic.
