4/5 None of this means every pathway fits every situation.
Hydrogen has leakage challenges. Ammonia is acutely toxic. E-fuels carry efficiency penalties. CCUS needs specialized infrastructure.
Strategically, the opportunity is wider than carbon alone.
English
1/5 For years, the case for emerging fuels has been told through a decarbonization lens. A new @EPRINews report argues that lens is too narrow. Energy strategy today is shaped by AI demand, policy volatility, geopolitics, and supply-chain pressure — not just carbon. 🧵

Every integrated test unit, every first concrete pour, every fuel qualification milestone compounds. Advanced nuclear isn't one company's story — it's a sector finally executing in parallel. @KairosPower is among the companies putting that into practice.

Engineering Test Unit 2 is our first modular reactor-scale system. It is made up of more than 30 plant equipment skids that will join together to form the integrated unit. ETU 2 is helping us streamline fabrication, assembly, and operations of modular reactor systems for the Hermes series and future reactors. It's expected to be online later this summer.

Among other things, @INL works with advanced and small modular reactor developers, vendors, and regulators to identify and mitigate #cybersecurity risks across the reactor lifecycle. Amazing—and important—work!

ICYMI, we covered this back in February. Wansley is just one piece of a much bigger package — $26.5B supporting roughly 16 GW of generation and 1,300+ miles of transmission across Georgia and Alabama. powermag.com/southern-co-la…
Georgia Power@GeorgiaPower
It’s official! 🥳 Thanks to a historic loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to Southern Company, we’re expanding and enhancing our diverse generation mix—and Plant Wansley is a big part of what’s next. A look back 👉 Plant Wansley began commercial operation in 1976 and, for decades, safely and reliably powered homes, businesses, and communities across Georgia. Since we retired our units there 2022, many of our neighbors and friends have asked what’s next? We’re launching Plant Wansley’s next chapter with: ✅ 1,453 MW of new natural gas generation ✅ 500 MW of battery storage Plant Wansley is just one example of broader investments happening across the state. Over the coming years, we are adding more than 10,000 megawatts of new generation to deliver the baseload power, reliability, and resiliency our customers expect—today and in the future. ⚡ The future of energy in Georgia is being built—starting here. ⚙️ @ENERGY @SouthernCompany

Hurricane season officially starts in one month, and we are continually preparing our electric grid for the next storm. One way we do this is by leveraging technology to help us effectively manage trees and vegetation surrounding thousands of miles of power lines across the state each year.

ZettaJoule’s ZJ0 reactor targets industrial processes that require high outlet temperatures, including refining, synthetic fuel production, hydrogen production, steelmaking, chemical manufacturing, desalination, and data centers. Sonal's article dives into all of the details.
ZettaJoule@ZettaJouleInc
It's great to see ZettaJoule featured in @POWERmagazine. We're not betting on unproven science - we're betting on a proven platform. We're focused on solving energy certainty, starting in Texas, beginning with @TEESresearch at @TAMU. Read the article! Senior editor @Sonalcpatel explains it all very well. powermag.com/zettajoule-pur… In a field defined by first-of-a-kind risk, execution is what matters. #Energy #Nuclear #EnergyCertainty

3/3 The data center story isn't one story. It's hundreds — each shaped by the specific project, community, and grid.
Executive editor Aaron Larson on why specificity beats slogans, with insights from BLS & Co.'s Tracey Hyatt Bosman and Tim Comerford.

2/3 The fears aren't baseless. Maine just advanced a moratorium on AI data centers ≥20 MW. 11+ states are weighing similar bills. But the full picture includes:
• AEP's take-or-pay contracts that shield ratepayers
• Meta's $10B Louisiana site backed by 1,500 MW of new renewables
• 20–200 skilled jobs + local contractor demand per facility
• Road, water, and transmission upgrades the whole community keeps
English
1/3 An Indiana utility lowered rates for existing customers — in part because a data center moved in and improved overall grid efficiency.
That's not the story most people are hearing right now. And it's exactly why the data center conversation needs more nuance. 🧵

4/5 Critics cite low headcount as proof data centers are a bad trade. The fuller picture:
• 20–200 well-paying technical jobs per site, often anchoring workers in their hometowns
• Steady demand for local HVAC, telecom, fire protection, and security contractors
• Road, water, and transmission upgrades the whole community keeps
English
1/5 On April 7, the Maine House voted 82–62 to advance a moratorium on AI data centers ≥20 MW through Nov. 2027. At least 11 other states are weighing similar measures.
It's the most concrete legislative pushback yet — but is the conversation getting the nuance it needs? 🧵

4/ The economics are the real story.
Helicopter inspections: ~$260/mile. Censys's drone model: $61.26/mile.
A two-person team with one aircraft can cover ~20,000 miles annually. Many utilities can hit positive ROI in year one.
English
1/ 77 miles. One drone. 2.5 hours. A quarter the cost of a helicopter.
A small team in Daytona Beach just rewrote the playbook for transmission line inspection — and they did it under existing FAA rules.
