Please read the engineering report linked elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35208699 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35208699 There are no zero impact options here. The report is a bit hyperbolic on the other options (storing it for 787 years would be a 1/2^64 reduction which seems unnecessarily long), but overall eminently reasonable. I agree with where you're coming from - companies creating environmental disasters/harm, walking away with profits, while leaving everyone else to suffer their externalities. But this does not appear to be that.
