They are considered green because they're as green as fossil fuel gets (pretty much) and they're very important for base load and peak covering

zfs is available on Linux just fine
But we're not talking about the nature of the system here, we're talking about this specific instance.
And I don't agree they'd necessarily do it internally, sometimes talent is the biggest blocker, not money. They can contract out a team of highly qualified engineers from NASA for a project here and there, when they need it. Hiring people is extremely expensive and having those people do nothing between projects is even more so.
The fact that it's not profitable overall doesn't mean there can never be any profit from anything.
How would you know? It hasn't been sold yet.
Yeah but that was decades ago.
Without the boom, these planes can fly possibly more profitable routes, for example, drawing parallels is hard with such a time-distance
Huh? What kinda question is that?
not stopped at stop lights if they're turning right
That's because it's actually allowed in the majority of the US
Hm, might make sense to make a suggestion to the Commission, think it's a good idea.
If you flew above treetops, you'd consume considerably more fuel because of air friction.
By investing into research of this airplane, the bulk of the costs are going to be manhours.
How is paying engineers going to cause brain drain?
Sure, but as a reason for why BSD is better, the present is what's important.
I'm not downplaying it tho
