@Molten_Ind started with @kevinabush and I started cracking methane into graphite and hydrogen in our garage at Stanford.
We sat down with @fiftyyears to share our story!

There's never been an investment like the investment in railroads. (This graph has a log scale!)

Imaginary exchange with a state legislator:
Me: Why did you vote to legalize online sports betting?
Them: It will generate $100 mln/year for programs that benefit our residents.
Me: Where does that money come from?
Them: A 10% tax on total gaming revenue.
Me: What does that imply about total revenue?
Them: Easy, $1 billion.
Me: And where does that $1 billion come from?
Them: Umm...

The U.S. has more natural gas than it knows what to do with
We know what to do with it at @Molten_Ind - make some graphite! ⚒️
"The current [natural gas] price range of minus $6 to minus $8 per million British thermal units is the lowest range on record"

I would like to introduce you to our newest creation, the Big Daddy Stack 👀

@scifi_charlie Agreed! And all that nuclear needs a lot of graphite!
English
@Caleb_C_Boyd Exactly why clean firm power needs diverse pathways. Geothermal and nuclear don't face the same mineral constraints.

All of those batteries need a whole lot of graphite! 👀

.@ZachBDell says we are in the middle of a "paradigm shift in the energy industry" and Base Power is in the perfect position to capitalize on it: "The last 50 years of energy have been defined by coal and natural gas. We believe the next 50 years are going to be defined by solar and storage." "The existing companies in this space are not necessarily technology-focused, engineering-led, or R&D-driven." "We are exactly that. We are the modern technology company oriented around this new paradigm, and we think the opportunity is to become the largest energy technology company in the world built on this new paradigm of solar and storage."

Came back from Korea with more than just skincare products 🤗
Excited for this partnership with POSCO Future M to advance the future of battery materials using @Molten_Ind graphite made 100% from US natural gas! 🔥🔋

The reports of the death of EVs have been greatly exaggerated. No one has been paying attention to robotaxis, which are poised to supercharge EV demand over the next 5 years.
Over 2 million ride-sharing and taxi vehicles in the US would require about 150,000 tons of graphite.
*Checks watch*
Time to get back to making graphite anode active material for all those robotaxi batteries! 🔋

Nano Banana absolutely crushed the job description image - we're looking for a scrappy Chemical Engineer at @Molten_Ind in Oakland to help us build and operate our pilot graphite processing line!
We're scaling up the tech we started in a Stanford garage to make graphite from natural gas and electricity - and we need your help! Job posting below

Texas is about to overtake California in battery storage capacity.
With our capabilities, Texas will continue to power the nation.

Living in San Francisco is such an insane blessing. You get to hang with so many interesting people interested in interesting things, building the future. Many nice dogs, no one wears ties, and Emirates flies the A380 daily to SFO. The Elysian fields.

At Molten, we win when our customers win. We leverage US dominance in natural gas to make graphite with a completely new process, radically changing the economics of graphite. Market distortions such as a 160% tariff can end up picking winners and losers (and often not as intended!) Our focus remains on global competitiveness and helping our US-based customers win on a global playing field!

Searching for a CEO for one of my very cool pre-seed portfolio companies working on natural gas conversion to higher value products. Ideally someone with O&G and/or metals background, minimum 10 years industry experience. Vancouver HQ. DM me suggestions of based technologists!

Software is getting easier to build and harder to defend. Hardware is the opposite.
