The cost of hydrogen is not the fuel cells but that hydrogen is made from oil.

Nuclear waste is 96-94% pure fuel.

We need nuclear recycling NOT nuclear waste storage.

If a mining company found a 94% pure ore in the ground, would they celebrate their luck or complain that it isn't 100% pure and thus could be sold without processing...

If nuclear energy used the same accounting practices as coal, oil or natural gas energy plants; they would have to pay their customers to hit zero profit.

So you feel China is betting on Silicon and that the actual future is Gallium arsenide ?

Because it has a direct band gap and at 1/50 of the thickness would be cheaper and more efficient than silicon?

Tell us more about your field of solar research and what bit around it you think we might need to know about.

Well, it lacks a proper bootstrap and its documentation is basically empty trash.

hell live bootstrap has those and did it without requiring a file system or a kernel to get there https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap

Warzone 2100 (you can download for free as it is an old PC game that went GPL)

gets more on the nose by the day

That is just the gateway drug to bootstrapping.

Check out https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap

if you want the real hard stuff.

They already did: https://www.commanderx16.com/

you just probably want something better.

and that is the problem building higher performance requires more advanced lithography and that is expensive and until recently was not even an option for a hobbyist (without taking a mortgage on their house).

Given current stagnation, you need only wait about 10 years for that viable option.

rxvt-unicode with tabbedex.

I refuse to use a terminal emulator that needs more than 100MB of RAM to display 80x24 green text on a black display

heating is not done year around (365.25 days/year) for the majority of the world's population.

Hence why places which need heating year around are generally considered an edge case.
