Well, the atmega fab was already there and that isn’t quite clean either :)

But there are many clean ways to generate electricity and electric kilns are quite efficient compared to heating over an open flame.

I like the artistic element of this exercise, just thought that line of reasoning was a bit off.

The chips were pulled from dead arduinos, not bought fresh off the production line

I know. We live in a society where both the power grid and atmegas already exist, and our individual actions are marginal in impact.

I’m just providing my perspective on an article written from a different perspective that I found interesting. I’m not looking for a fight.
