Honored to attend @ENERGY's AI Leadership Roundtable with @SecretaryWright and AI industry leaders. Inspired by the vision and innovation these leaders bring to advancing America's AI capabilities—and the collaboration needed to ensure we have the energy to power it.
Today I met the pioneers driving America’s AI future. They see President Trump’s commitment to advancing AI and are ready to build, grow, and unleash American built AI.

Congratulations to @AaloAtomics on yesterday's groundbreaking! What we witnessed @INL wasn't just the breaking of ground, it was the breaking of barriers that have held back American nuclear innovation for far too long. @yasir_fission @MattLoszak
⚛️ Breaking Ground on Aalo-X near Idaho National Laboratory ⚛️ Today marks the groundbreaking of Aalo-X, the nation’s first XMR and the first new sodium-cooled reactor to be built in the U.S. in over four decades. This groundbreaking follows Aalo’s selection for the DOE Reactor

Thank you @SenCapito for visiting @INL and engaging with our team on advancing nuclear energy and national security. Your leadership is vital as we work together to expand affordable and abundant nuclear energy and increase domestic minerals production for national security.
Earlier this week, Chairman @SenCapito visited the @INL to tour the facility and meet with the laboratory’s leadership to discuss their efforts to facilitate the future of U.S. nuclear power. American energy dominance relies on the development of nuclear energy, and Chairman
