A huge thanks to @ENERGY, @GovNuclear, @Google, @TVAnews, @ORNL, @cityofoakridge and @RoanecoTNgov for their support. Special thanks to @RepChuck and @GovBillLee for their recorded remarks. Let's get to work!

We just broke ground on our second advanced reactor in East Tennessee. Hermes 2 will be our first power-producing reactor and the first deployment under our deal with Google to bring clean, reliable power to the region. kairospower.com/updates/kairos…

"I think a lot of people recognize the value of what nuclear can bring but are still a little bit nervous about whether it can actually be done. Credibility can be very hard to earn, but it can be lost very quickly." - Mike Laufer, Kairos Power CEO. Solid read by @ivanlpenn in today's @nytimes highlighting our unique approach toward new reactor deployment. nytimes.com/2026/01/06/bus…

Thank you @CBSSunday and @Pogue for spotlighting advanced nuclear’s role in powering a clean energy future. Come back to Oak Ridge anytime and watch our progress. 🏗️

My “@CBSSunday Morning" story today: Why is @Microsoft paying to restart Three Mile Island? The Big Tech companies all have big goals to produce zero carbon pollution by 2030—but AI is so power-hungry that they won't make it without nuclear! youtu.be/gjqkwkybwak?si…

@propublica While I’m not defending insurers’ attempts to deny care, this story has a gaping blind spot. ABA is widely considered to be abuse within the autistic community. Did ProPublica talk to any #ActuallyAutistic people for this investigation? neuroclastic.com/invisible-abus…

New: Leaked internal documents show that the insurance giant is culling providers of applied behavior analysis from its network and scrutinizing the medical necessity of therapy. Advocates say the company's strategy may be illegal. propub.li/3ZQOoo7

Can you feel the vibe shift yet? All within the last month.

@mckelmer @MPRnews San Diego does not have a plausible strategy to reach its climate goals. Cities love to make climate pledges, but few are willing to do the work.

San Diego talks a big game on climate. But Minneapolis city council just overrided their mayor’s veto of a new fee on its biggest polluters for every pound of CO2 emitted starting 2025. Walk the walk, yo. mprnews.org/story/2024/10/… @MPRnews

BREAKING: Kairos Power and @Google have signed a Master Plant Development Agreement, creating a path to deploy a U.S. fleet of advanced nuclear power projects totaling 500 MW by 2035. Read the announcement: kairospower.com/external_updat…

Peek inside Kairos Power's Manufacturing Development Campus and find out how we're flipping the script on traditional nuclear development in this episode of "In The Arena" with @freethinkmedia and @evanbaehr. ⚛️ Watch the full episode on YouTube: youtu.be/XKzEgT2MQGg

What a beautiful day we had celebrating our clean energy future! Proud of this amazing team building big things in Albuquerque. 👷🏻‍♀️

Grab your shovels! 👷🏻‍♀️ The future of clean energy is happening now and it’s being built in Tennessee. Congrats to the entire Kairos Power team for reaching this significant milestone.

@javdiaz489 @Sammy_Roth @latimes I came here to say this 👆🏻

Thousands of Joshua trees are getting destroyed to make way for a solar project. Stupid idea, right? It’s not so simple. My latest @latimes column, on the hard choices ahead as we race to confront the climate crisis: latimes.com/environment/ne…

Good summary of the Biden admin's latest climate policy wins. He's done more to fight climate change than any other president in history. If only he'd be more vocal about it. Via @curious_founder open.substack.com/pub/michaeltho…

@mckelmer @SDGE @voiceofsandiego It’s bananas to think we could power all of San Diego with rooftop solar. We need a mix of generation resources to ensure grid reliability. But with the city’s track record of neglecting public infrastructure, how can we trust elected leaders to make smart investments in them?

Public power proponents want @SDGE to "get off the island," so to speak, and the city to form its own power grid. What does that actually look like? I tried to explain: voiceofsandiego.org/2024/05/07/fan… @voiceofsandiego

@POTUS is investing billions in nuclear energy to create jobs across the country and drive down emissions to help meet the nation's climate goals.

@mckelmer As a long-time Catan player and energy nerd, I’ve been coveting this 😍

Forgot to add this to the latest Environment Report: There's a new version of Catan the board game that pits fossil fuel companies against green energy. The most eco-friendly player won't necessarily win -- but if GHGs rise past a certain point -- Doom. fastcompany.com/91071961/catan…

#Electricity and today's #SolarEclipse: ☀️ 6.5 GW of U.S. #solarpower capacity will be in the path of the total eclipse ☀️ 84.8 GW of capacity will have the sun partially blocked around peak solar generating time ⚡️eia.gov/todayinenergy/…

@J_Lovering I switched from Mint to Quicken and have been happy with it

Personal Q: what do folks use to manage their personal finances? Specifically tracking expenses by category, and budgeting. (IYKYK, Mint is shutting down March 23rd)

"With this fiscally responsible approach, @KairosPower has real skin in the game. The company bears the upfront risk, taking financial responsibility for any work required to complete a milestone," the company told POWER. #nuclear powermag.com/doe-kairos-unv…
