Whether we want EGS, new nukes, and LDES to deploy at GW-scale this decade to meet AI demand or next decade while ceding global leadership is what is at stake in Congress right now. Was luck enough to visit Fervo Energy site in UT, and it’s truly impressive. Here’s how it works:

This is my quant... David Paolella talking about the new Breakthrough Energy GRIDS initiative to help speed up grid modeling and get study times down to weeks not months or years. Thanks Gurobi Optimization for having us in Berlin!

There’s an old saying that whenever you move, it’s always the hottest day of the year. The only thing that can make it better is having your power go out… very on brand and no hard feelings Pepco (some tho). I know most of our T&D infra is 50+ years old. Time to build.
