Extraction of energy from fossil fuel consumes O2 in just the same way.
To conserve O2 we have two options: either "renewables"* or nuclear
(inc. fusion RSN).

I forgot that only brown energy can be used to build solar panels. If
you use green energy to power a solar panel factory, the silicon gets
disgusted by your aesthetic sensibilities and runs away.
