Introducing Project Obsidian: the world’s first superhot geothermal power plant. Right now in Central Oregon, our team is pushing #geothermal beyond its limits and into a whole new era. For the first time, we’re building a plant designed to generate electricity where Earth’s natural heat is most powerful: 300–500°C. At those temperatures, a single well can deliver 10–100x more power than all other forms of geothermal. Project Obsidian is the birthplace of gigawatt-scale geothermal and a new chapter in human innovation. Because when #energy is high-density, always-on, low-cost, and zero-carbon, it doesn’t just power the grid; it reshapes economies. It strengthens energy security and brings reliable power within reach for communities everywhere. Project Obsidian, at a glance: ◾Phase I: 50 MW ◾Phase II: 250 MW ◾Phase III: 1+ GW ◾Zero waste ◾Zero fuel ◾Zero emissions Humans have used geothermal for thousands of years, but mostly where nature makes it easy: hot springs and rare geologic hotspots. Our key technology breaks that boundary by going hotter and deeper than ever before. Millimeter wave #drilling is the solution: high-power microwaves that ablate rock with zero contact. Project Obsidian will be the first commercial deployment of millimeter wave drilling, unlocking a future where geothermal can expand east of the Mississippi and beyond the global Ring of Fire, bringing superhot geothermal within reach of more than 90% of humanity. Obsidian is just the beginning; it’s the best-studied, most economically viable location in the United States to prove a whole new scale of clean power using Earth’s natural heat. This is superhot geothermal: energy, perfected.









what are the best designers doing to wrangle AI? @brian_lovin is one of the people I study for inspiration 👇 So today's episode is a deep dive into how he’s iterating on his approach to both using AI tools as well as building AI tools at Notion youtube.com/watch?v=dvEwb1… There are a ton of practical workflow nuggets in this one: ✧ Why Brian has started using Cursor again ✧ Behind-the-scenes of Brian’s new side project ✧ Practical tips for prompting AI more effectively ✧ How to stay relevant as a designer in an AI world ✧ Why his first Notion design offsite was so impactful ✧ How Brian built Notion’s prototyping playground + a lot more
