I donât really understand the utility backlash endgame: 1. Regulators donât approve price hikes 2. Utilities go bankrupt 3. ???

Hard to overstate how antiquated our load interconnection studies are â effectively no option currently exists for large flexible loads to mitigate network upgrades. (Source is new @NichInstitute brief on USDOE's ANOPR)

@rpoo Awfully convenient that SiO2 makes up the majority of Earthâs crust.
If God wanted us to build Type 1 Civilization, he would have: 1. put a giant fusion reactor in the sky (emitting blackbody radiation around 5800 K) 2. made 28% of Earth's crust out of a semiconductor with a matching bandgap (~1.1 eV or so) 3. filled the oceans with an alkali

An exciting new feature in the upcoming Rivian R2 is a bidirectional on-board charger that will have the ability to power your home. This is probably one of the most important features in the car. Home power outages are prolific around the US, people are investing in home energy

Anyone that has worked with @BitfuryGeorge knows that compliments like this one don't come easy. I plan to frame this. Thank you @CipherInc team for earning it. $CIFR
The biggest challenge in incubating any story is finding a right CEO - partner that will take the story to the next level. Finding @rftylerpage and enlisting him to run with $CIFR was one of the key decisions and Tyler knows we âdont grade on curveâ and embraced the opportunity

@RichardMeyerDC "As Chris Wright, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), recently said, âwe donât need more electrons ⌠We only need more electrons a few hours a year at peak demand. We have slack capacity 98% of the time.â

Satya just told you the entire AI trade thesis is wrong and nobody is repricing anything. Microsoft has racks of H100s collecting dust because they literally cannot plug them in. Not "won't," cannot. The power infrastructure does not exist. Which means every analyst model that's
$MSFT CEO Satya just made one of the most revealing comments of the entire AI cycle when he said Microsoft has $NVDA GPUs sitting in racks that cannot be turned on because there is not enough energy to feed them. The real constraint is not compute but power & data center space.

Good. @Microsoft Few.
Last chance to turn it off. On Monday, November 3rd, Microsoft will start using your LinkedIn data for AI training. And remember, you're opted in by default. To toggle it off đ Account - Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement.

Demand is way more elastic than people think. We donât see it because utilities donât offer cost reflective pricing, so people build in ways that optimize for the wrong price signals. This has been a massive issue for far longer than weâve had cheap solar. Weâve had the
One giant assumption in power system mix / LCOE / capacity expansion / optimization models is that load shapes will be the basically same in the future despite the presence of very cheap daytime energy.

Luminary Strategies filed Oct 31 w/ a massive ad hoc coalition of support, a proposal in @ERCOT_ISO to allow large loads to be studied as nodal Controllable Loads (CLRs), accelerating IX, solving clusters, unsuffocating N-1 constraints, marrying Ops w/ Planning. More soon.
