    To be fair trees still use energy for doing this, but that energy is conveniently provided by the sun.

      If humans could make a profit off of killing the sun, they would.

          Dyson swarm goes brrrt.

          I know it’s not killing the sun, but we’d be hogging up all that sunlight from other planets in the solar system.

          How does that destroy the sun? Unless I have the wrong idea of what a solar farm is. I’m imagining a big ol’ flat farmland in the middle of kansas with thousands of solar panels.
