I am still hoping it will hit 10% market share within my life time. I remember when it was predicted to hit that in 2010, obviously it didn't happen*. Of course for me personally, the year of the Linux Desktop was 2007 when I was finally able to use it as my main OS at home, I tried it before many times since 2003.

* not counting systems that use the Linux kernel but aren't considered a traditional GNU+Linux desktop.

Wow, some industry lobbyists got government funding, amazing.

Not just in the US, China too is building nuclear reactors faster than any other country

Global fossil fuel subsidies are at $7 trillion, so I guess those are really relevant to our future as well!

No of course not. The subsidies at this point at a crime against humanity.

I don’t want developing countries to waste their money on nuclear power when they can get much more cost effective renewables.

If the renewables are cost effective and provide stable power then I too want them to be priority -near zero risks-, but more importantly industry and business will seek them on their own. I just hold that nuclear power should be part of the mix. Take the UAE for example it is investing in both nuclear and solar.

nuclear power isn’t relevant anymore.

that's not true. you just don't want developing countries to have nuclear power.

Stallman warned us, we didn't listen.

"Nuclear for me but not for thee".

The optimal temperature for solar panels to operate efficiently is typically around 25°C (77°F).

It is 34°C (93°F) at night.

Agreed. Developing countries need clean and affordable energy

Not as bad as you make it out to be, and I actually worked in the US with more Chinese engineers than US engineers.

It is not illegal is it?

If it is legal, then thank you China for the free backup.
