linkedin.com/pulse/self-pow… After 3 years of relentless iteration, trial and error, postponed funding rounds, and various delays, at Volition we've developed a powerful business model that effectively solves energy infrastructure problems while creating tangible value for communities. Every setback taught us something priceless. What started as one vision has evolved into something far more compelling: self-powered edge data centers that don't just serve customers, but transform entire communities through energy independence. The journey wasn't linear, but it led us exactly where we needed to be. Now we're building with clarity, purpose, and genuine excitement about the infrastructure we're creating and the impact we're making - more below:

Happy to be building with @Bloom_Energy CEO KR Sridhar towards the vision of "intelligence with electricity" as he puts it. linkedin.com/posts/bloom-en…

Something quietly significant happened in Washington this year that every data center developer, infrastructure investor, and AI company should be watching. Senator Tom Cotton introduced the DATA Act — legislation that would exempt fully off-grid data centers from FERC jurisdiction entirely. The legislation creates regulatory carve-outs for fully isolated power systems serving data centers and other energy-intensive industrial loads. Why does this matter? Because it signals that Congress is beginning to formalize what the market already figured out: the existing utility regulatory framework was not built for the speed of AI infrastructure. Policy reform takes years, while data center siting takes months — and that mismatch is turning the race from "who can find the most power" to "who can find the power that will actually turn on." New Hampshire already signed legislation exempting off-grid power providers from state utility laws, and ALEC released model state legislation in January 2026 following Cotton's federal bill introduction Introl — a clear signal that this is becoming a bipartisan, nationwide trend. BCG projects that more than 35 GW of data center power will be self-generated by 2030 — a number that was nearly unimaginable five years ago. For investors underwriting infrastructure assets: the regulatory trajectory is now clearly favoring operators who can deploy power independently. Off-grid is no longer a workaround. It's increasingly the architecture that policy is being written around. The companies that treated grid independence as a constraint to solve rather than a liability to manage built a significant structural advantage. That advantage is now being written into law. #DataCenterPolicy #AIInfrastructure #OffGrid #InfrastructureInvesting #EnergyPolicy

Don't sit next to me on a flight.

Why This Argument Fails: 1. SB54 Is the Law Signed in 2014, effective 2015 Survived multiple court challenges through 2019 The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the Utah GOP's appeal in March 2019 Every court that reviewed it upheld the law 2. Courts Rejected the Constitutional Claims The 10th Circuit ruled that SB54 doesn't interfere with the party's internal processes The state has authority to regulate ballot access The dual path gives party members more voice, not less 3. It's Not "Illegal" - It's the Legal Process Candidates followed the legal signature-gathering route established by state law They didn't "bypass" anything illegally - they used an alternative legal path Derek Brown actually needed signatures since he lost at convention 4. The "Occupying Offices Illegally" Claim Is False All three won their primary elections All three won their general elections They followed all legal requirements

Thank you @EmeraldRobinson for having me on your show today! We the people of Utah appreciate the exposure of how corrupt Utah actually is. Spencer Cox, John Curtis, and Derek Brown were disqualified and used a "second chance" at the Utah Republican Party nomination. They are occupying their offices illegally and we the people plan to take back our elections and our state.

LANDED IT! That was crazy! Looked like it was going to miss, but slid back into the target and pretty much hovered to the deck and nailed it!

@thogge Christ having not yet returned to save is, I think, the biggest problem.

The most broken things in America: 1. The national debt. 2. The healthcare system. 3. The tax code. 4. K-12 education. 5. Obesity rates. What am i missing?

Time well spent with the @Bloom_Energy team last week.
