See this very thin blue line. That's ratio of powerplants that actually do get build in the US relative to what we could've built.

Hot take: If your state isn’t winning data centers right now, it’s a choice. Data centers don’t just follow power. They follow policy—and they move fast. Arizona figured this out early. In 2013, it launched a data center tax program offering state, county, and local sales/use tax exemptions on equipment. That helped turn metro Phoenix into one of North America’s fastest-growing hubs. azcommerce.com/incentives/com… Today, it has the 2nd highest interconnection requests after Texas. Now look at Colorado. Demand is surging, but the state is still debating its approach. Operators are already signaling they’ll invest elsewhere. cpr.org/2026/04/27/col… Data centers are highly mobile. They don’t wait. States that hesitate miss the opportunity. Policy decides who wins.

Publicly accessible 'data center request queues' like 'generation interconnection queues' is needed. One labor of love project, I've been working on is a weekly updated interconnection queue analyzer.

Super pumped about our heat battery pilot in the great state of Utah. The unit is almost ready.

Back from India Energy Week after a packed set of partner and customer meetings. One thing is clear. India needs energy infrastructure and it needs it now. The scale is massive and the urgency is real.

@NativeTAgency Sure

Hello Manas, I'm Melanie from Native Team Agency. We’re keen to feature your video of driving through a haboob in Arizona in a story across our platforms and those of our partners, with full credit to you. Do you agree with that? You can find more details at bit.ly/4hSAo3J.

In case some of you have never seen one, I bring you an Arizona dust storm (called a haboob here). Daylight to dark and zero visibility.

@StringerViral @Superstition_AZ Sure just dm me

@manas_pathak @Superstition_AZ Hello , I hope you are fine . I am a journalist with a London based news agency . Is this your video ? We would like to use it for our coverage and to distribute it with our media partners with Credit to you . Can you please follow me back for DM . Thanks

@audreymcavoy @Superstition_AZ Sure. Just dm me

@manas_pathak @Superstition_AZ Hi @manas_pathak I'm a reporter with The Associated Press. Would you be willing to let the AP use your video and do a phone interview about what it was like to drive through the dust cloud? Thank you.

EarthEn Energy Launches Breakthrough Heat Battery at RE+ Storage to Decarbonize Industrial Heat Processes sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/earthen-e…

Headed to another @ENERGY event this week to present EarthEn Energy, this time at @LANL_Innovation

I’m in D.C. today at @infocast_events PowerUp Data Center conference, talking energy + AI with peers. A great moment to share: ArcusAI is now Grid8. A new name that slighs with our sharper mission: fixing the U.S. grid bottleneck. linkedin.com/pulse/crisis-f… via @LinkedIn

Big announcement coming from EarthEn's booth at the inaugural Re+ Storage, powered by @SEPAPower @SEIA

@indianrailway__ just boarded Vande Bharat from MCSC to NZM. This is no less than any European train. Great service, great train- good job!

Next week, I'm joining #LEEPDemoDay, an all-day event for @ENERGY's Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program. I'll be sharing about EarthEn's progress in sCO2-energy storage at @ORNL. @InnovCrossroads

Excited to meet customer next week and solve their grid interconnection issues using #AI.

🌞 U.S. Added 30 GW of Solar in 2024! ⚡ Solar is expected to remain the largest source of new generating capacity added over the next 2 years. Green but also cheap things just take off in the market. At ArcusAI, we help solar developers with grid interconnections.
