Of course it makes difference! Have you really thought this through? If there isn't anyone in the truck hijacking will skyrocket.

So what? Just because you have sentimental feelings towards NatGeo doesn't mean they have to adhere to what you seem suitable to be their business model. If they leave a void of unfulfilled demand, it will be filled and quickly, don't fret about it.

Nuclear energy is very expensive when adjusted for building the plant. Companies building those plants know this and their usual tactic is to severely underbudget, knowing that a government cannot refuse to pay because it is committed. The Olkiluoto plant in Finland was estimated at €3bn before start and at the most recent revision the estimation was €9bn with a 10 year delay. The plant is not yet operational and I expect there will be even further delays. Don't drink the nuclear cool aid.

There are two major aerospace companies, neither of which is German. Boeing is from the US and Airbus is from France.

Civilian aircraft production in Russia is practically non-existent.

Thinking this is a viable solution fails to take into account any practicalities and the nature of man itself.

Honestly, I'm tired of pointing to people how superficial their understanding of certain topics is and how ridiculous their "solutions" sound.

Depends what you mean with "best". As suggested, piwik is good. There is also snowplow.
