Re: Open Sustainable Technology
#2>For technology to be truly sustainable, it must be globally available and independent. The open distribution of sustainable technology, knowledge and data provides the basis for an ecological and economical global economy. This secures the access to vital resources such as stable climate, soil or water for everyone in the long term.

#3What about work being done on 4th Gen Nuclear?
If anything is going to make a dent on climate change and provide a way forward for sustainable energy generation it would have to be scaling up the share of nuclear (to 25-50% of overall share) with new and safer reactor designs that move away from outdated cold war technology we are still using.

it doesn't really make sense to scale up a form of power that's 2-4x the cost (more if you include research costs for newer designs) just because it can act as baseload. Over producing, demand shaping and storage will be cheaper.
Nuclear is only financially viable because the government subsidizes it - usually to maintain weapons technology.

Yeah, look I'm all for FLOSS, but I don't like this stating conjecture as fact nonsense that is the bread and butter of western elites and technocrats one bit. It poisons the well.

Nuclear energy is of course a controversial topic.
The main reason for not appearing on the list is that there are practically no open projects in this field.
ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) apparently relies on open source software, but we could not find any open documentation for this project. (https://www.iter.org/newsline/-/3316) The Open100 project is similar. (https://www.open-100.com/) We have found only one big project that is really open and active: Paramek (https://github.com/ukaea/paramak).

Just out of curiosity, are there any studies on the demographics of FLOSS support? I'm quite curious - with no specific goal in mind - about where the most ardent supporters are, in what fields they work, at what age, and so on.

This is the central statement of our organization. Thank you for pointing it out. I have now made our organization as the originator of this statement clear.

Your assumption is correct!
