Fortunately, there is a relatively cheap way of producing that energy with solar or wind installations. Your rock grinding machine can actually improve electrical grid by using excess energy and being a first candidate to be turned off in case of electricity shortage.
Another way of looking at this is that a rock grinding machine is a way to convert excess renewable electricity into oil. By converting renewable electricity into sequestered carbon you can allow amount of oil being used for net zero carbon footprint.
Yes, it costs more (but not as much as some people think -- excess energy is actually much cheaper and in some cases can have negative value). We kinda now there isn't going to be a solution that will be as cheap as what we have been doing up to this point.
