Last time I heard, he did different things with his Bill.

Why talk if you haven’t read the comment you replied to until the end?

FWIW this is by far less dangerous and aggressive than oxygen, which caused the first global mass extinction when it started to amass in earth’s atmosphere (and plays a major role in the corrosion of iron you mentioned).
And yet people tell you to breathe in and out…

So just sink them.
Accidents happen.
Next please!

You’re unfortunately right that a Linux phone wouldn’t solve these problems and I’m with you that devs who bend the knee to Google have no interest in providing a Linux phone version - at least for the foreseeable future.
Once there’s a considerable market share for Linux phones (which may never be the case…), those users are potential customers and the tides will shift.
Until then it would at least provide a portable computer that can do a lot of the things current smartphones are capable of, but without the restrictions created by Google and Apple.

I have a more pessimistic view of bad scenarios.
Combine Google Play Integrity checks with being unable to install apps except they’re from the Play Store and you are at the whim of Google.
Right now I’m battling an app provider (of an app I rely on) who decided to start Play Integrity check shenanigans, although that’s in violation with their TOS. I know about not so great scenarios already. My alternative would be to cave and forfeit GrapheneOS, which I’m not willing to do.
We. need. Linuxphones!

I’m not saying I’m a fan of that, but at least Apple is upfront about the walled garden they offer and ever has been.
Google started differently, but turned around 180 degrees.

You need close to three times (2.78) the energy for accelerating to 50 instead of 30.
If you have to brake, that energy gets converted to heat.
Rinse and repeat.
Especially in urban areas where there’s alot of acceleration/deceleration - or just acceleration with different algebraic signs - more speed means more fuel per distance.

Google is paving the ground for Linuxphones.
It’s so blatantly obvious how evil they’ve become that it makes striving for alternatives a necessity.

Lucky me needs Proxmox only for self-hosting and loves it :)

I bet he can taste the difference.

I think so too.
With electric energy, there’s no “one size fits all” solution.
These novel approaches will fit somewhere.

Neither the kite based solution nor the blimp based solution is fit for the purpose of serving single or few people with electrical energy.
For that scenario some kWp based on solar can be had for cheap and some kWh battery on top doesn’t cost a fortune either.
I never insinuated that the kite or blimp are the perfect solution for every scenario - rather that it may be a match for situation that couldn’t be served well by the available means.

I can see those kites being used at remote locations, islands, remote villages, etc.
Add some battery to it and you have a quite reliable source of electric energy.
What option would be better in these cases in your opinion?

I don’t know what you mean by mass use. It’s pretty clear that these approaches are meant to add to existing solutions or provide off-grid energy at remote locations.
If you can bring a standard 30 foot container there, you can consider such a kite installation, if other requirements are met.

How does an ideal site look like?
Q3: How does an ideal site look like?
The ideal site has a flat topography with no large obstacles in the prevailing wind direction, making agricultural or unused land the ideal choice. However, certain obstacles, like trees, solar power plants, or industrial facilities, are acceptable within the operating area, but specific approval may be required. We are happy to support you in identifying the perfect site for your airborne wind energy project.

I don’t see, you can’t use multiple installations at different locations aka scale it.

Yah, we need to have them running to get real numbers.
I find both approaches promising.
Ways to make electric energy available without burning fossil fuel are good.

How so, when skysails talks about “Venyo harnesses the power of high-altitude winds with speeds of 13 m/s and a continuous output of up to 200 kW.” while the S1500 is featured with “Inside this duct are 12 turbine-generator sets, each rated at 100 kW.”?
It’s more like factor 5-6.

This one in particular: maybe.
The approach in gerenal: not so much.

It’s a novel approach, but the Chinese aren’t the only ones trying to harvest energy from high winds: https://skysails-power.com/how-power-kites-work/

A broken clock can be a kind of a wrong clock.
Stopped clocks are the real deal!
