Oh, you were talking about the hobbyists? That's easy. Tell them to RTFM, and if something doesn't work, have them submit a patch. That's not a heavy burden.

It would have been nice if the author would have at least acknowledged that in reality they are nucleobases and not tiny, tiny letters curled up in our cell nuclei. Sure, 6-amino-5-nitro-2(1H)-pyridone and 2-amino-imidazo[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triaz

8MW sounds nice, but a nuclear power plant will easily have 4 orders of magnitude more power output for the same visual impact, and that's around the clock, whether the wind blows or not. I wouldn't dismiss rod reactors outright,

The wind turbine scam is not that much better than the solar roadways scam. It's a huge nuisance, expense and environmental impact for very little power. The only reasonable choice is nuclear power.

Yes, that is if you can afford it. The Zvezda service module for the ISS was launched without insurance or a backup because of financial problems. Embarrassingly they even had to turn to Pizza Hut for help: http://www.spacedaily.
