Extraction limits are the only thing that will limit anthropogenic emissions, and soon. Unfortunately, Earth system own dynamics begins to dominate greenhouse emissions, so that's not going to change things.

Solar and wind are only relatively cheap if you don't need to buffer. Unfortunately, you do. And electricity production is only a fraction of primary energy use. Concrete, steel, glass, fertilizer, chemistry, diesel and bunker fuel for shipping and mining. Can't make new renewable infrastructure without fossil extraction.
He can't make the unextractable extractable. Nor can he make consumption stop. In terms of the Keeling curve, the impact is exactly zero.
Thanks. From the details I can't tell whether this https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05108-y is the process used or something else.
It could be a variation on https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2022/cc/d2cc01345b but not enough details provided, so I'll stop guessing.
You can make nukes with material (U-233) bred in the thorium fuelcycle.

There are serious diverse problems with the thorium fuelcycle, including MSR. This is the reason it is not being developed vigorously. But China and India particularly are looking into it.
Interestingly enough, I have not heard of large hydrogen projects from water electrolysis in China.
What else did you expect, honestly? The only limit is increasing nonviability of tight resource extraction. (Un)fortunately, we're almost there.
Do you have a source?
Got my Pixel 7 a a few days ago for 335 EUR, runs GrapheneOS well.
Wire speed L2 in hardware is cheap, but layer 3 is not (and is typically limited to few k routes for campus type of switches). I have a Quanta LB 10G and a Brocade ICX 1G/10G/40G switches for lab use, which are hot and screamy but were cheap used. I would not trust software L3 implementations to not drop packets at high rates.

That decentralized and self-hostable platforms like Lemmy are fringe does not give me hope for the future of social networks on the Internet.
