The environmental comparison I'd be interested in seeing is between a year of heavy personal usage of LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini etc) compared to the CO2 emissions from a single passenger flight

Can I do my own personal carbon offsetting by skipping one trip a year?

Does that question even make sense?

@simon well, you could commit you and your offspring to store safely some of the nuclear waste coming out of Google's projected reactors. If it contains Plutonium, you're in for 50000 years.
