Microsoft just spent $1 billion on sh*t that's going to be buried, and for a very good reason

Human Poop.
  • Microsoft pays billions to inject manure underground to cancel out AI carbon emissions
  • Vaulted Deep turns sewage and manure into a climate fix buried 5,000 feet down
  • Carbon offset prices may drop, but right now, each ton costs around $350

Microsoft is once again spending heavily on carbon removal - but this time, the strategy is not based on futuristic machinery or carbon-scrubbing forests, but instead involves waste, specifically human and animal excrement, manure, and agricultural byproducts.
