New Industrial System

Discussion

At Level 1, we have Steel-Concrete-Plastic infrastructure - + CEB and Lumber at another $50k a pop.

Initial cost was $750k. Add $50k, and double it - and we have $1.6M in as-built cost for infrastructure that gets us virgin steel and plastic from scrap, and concrete from rock. Coupled with lumber and CEBs, so we can build housing for free.

If we have virgin steel infrastructure, we likewise have virgin aluminum infrastructure, which is as simple as melting aluminum.

At level 2, we must add

1. Precision machining for the Open Source Stackable Engine
2. Silicon production from quartz sand, and upgrading to microchips, and including transistors for power electronics
3. Hydrogen production as the new fuel. Good if this happens within 1 year, otherwise if roadmap is several years, then pyrolysis oil or compressed wood gas may be the answer.
4. Glass production for PV. Recycled EVA completes the need for PV.

So distinctly, there is steel,
