Ok, so my point is how a private company can ever determinate what is acceptable or not for them of their customers activities or idea. I do not know how USA legislation works, in EU a private company can't "discriminate" the

Yep, than go looking at xFS commits history, mailing list activities, websites (sgi site dead, xfs.org abandoned)... It's "live" in the sense that's bugfixed when bug spot around but there is essentially ZERO new futures

Few solutions (like water-dams) prove to be really effective at a reasonably big scale, however cost balance do not justify PV... It's far more interesting wind power + water-dams or simply classic hydroelectric but again it's fea
