If they move it to optical compute then we won't have to keep talking so much about the CO2 and compute cycles. I imagine they're having conversations to do just that pretty often now, and hopefully with some action towards getting it done.

? Optical computing still consumes energy, you can't beat thermodynamics like that. (there is some theoretical research into "reversible computing", but it's not really practical. A side effect is that destroying information is not reversible: so instead of having a two-input one output gate, you have to have 2 inputs 2 outputs and keep the "spare" around to make it reversible.)
