The ultimate fix remains unexplored: reversible computing uses 0-1 pairs. Basically you do logic on the left one and swap them to invert that logical bit. Because the charge is simply transmitted, instead of grounded away or powered up, negligible entropy is involved.
I suspect you'd have to sink the values eventually... but I expect you could send them off "behind the woodshed" for that. Do all the work in some tiny flake of silicon, then transmit a stream of noise to a big dumb block of metal.
