Embodied environmental impact is a difficult calculation, and nobody ever agrees on a number for any complex product like semiconductors, cars, solar panels. But, if we one day price in all the externalities, we can count on the markets to run the numbers for us. If anything, electricity production probably has more subsidies & externalities than semiconductor manufacture.
