    so the AI stuff causes too much CO2, instead of fixing their own hardware, the best they could do is to offset that CO2 amount by burying shit?

      Yes, burying fertilizer traps biomass CO2 and then they can use that as carbon credit equivalent to claim CO² neutrality.
      Of course, there’s a reason why fertilizer is an inexpensive source of fixated carbon biomass and this means all fertilizer will increase in price by the amount value of it’s CO2 carbon credit equivalent

      Then maybe the buried fertilizer will become so valuable that it can be dug out and sold as fertilizer again.

      I don’t see any problems with this plan !
