This geothermal-powered datacenter in Iceland just got a huge upgrade: @CrusoeAI has launched Command Center along with a bunch of new features around orchestration, observability and support - a major step forward for Crusoe Cloud and our customers running advanced AI workloads.

Today we announce our $70M Series B, led by @lowercarbon and @balderton, bringing Fuse to a $5B valuation. Time to go further.

Today Fuse Energy has raised $70M Series B, bringing our valuation to $5B. This fundraise was led by @lowercarbon, @Balderton, and an incredible group of investors who believe delivering low-cost abundant energy is the world's biggest priority. We started Fuse with a simple conviction: energy is the fundamental source for human progress. But for the last 30 years, we’ve been told that the future requires sacrifice “use less, be less, restrict yourself”. No one should have to trade a good life today for the chance of a better tomorrow. This funding allows us to move faster on the following: - Expanding The Energy Network to scale grids across every market. - Launching supply operations in the US, Ireland and Spain. - Building 1 GW of solar and storage capacity around the world. - Introducing our apartment-friendly Plug-and-Play Solar-Battery Kit, enabling anyone to generate and store energy, giving people control over their energy. - Deploying Autopilot - our intelligent home energy operating system optimising its users’ consumption and $ENERGY earnings. The real work starts now.

In bonkers news, the absolute maniacs of @OverviewEnergy just demo’d their space-energy-to-Earth tech stack by successfully beaming infrared power from a plane in the sky to a solar receiver on the ground. Solar power 24/7 from orbit is getting inevitabler and inevitabler.

We move fast!

Some incredible news: @SECGov has today issued a No-Action Letter to @fuseenergy for the Energy Dollar ($ENERGY). $ENERGY is the native utility token for The Energy Network, built on Solana. Full details can be found in the project whitepaper, released today. This landmark is

Today we're thrilled to announce we just doubled down on @CruxClimate, the company building the financial backbone of the new American industrial economy. We led the $50m Series B – and @claydumas wrote a banger of a blog about it. lowercarbon.com/2025/04/16/cru…

Two years ago, @lowercarbon proudly put the first dollars into @CruxClimate, a financial marketplace that set out to capitalize America's energy and manufacturing superiority. Spoiler alert: it's working. So now we’re throwing good money after good and leading their Series B.

Besides all these new products, the other thing Crux is doing with this new loot is hiring, actively. To the engineers, financiers, and product leaders, who want to help reshape America’s industrial future–your new gig is waiting: cruxclimate.com/careers

As the backbone of the global electrification push, batteries need to get better. Read how @BreatheBT is boosting batteries with a download, starting with Volvo's flagship EV and one of the world’s largest smartphone makers 🔋⚡️ theverge.com/electric-cars/…

Fresh insights from @CrusoeAI's Cully Cavness on using AI to solve AI's energy demand. One example? @AvalancheFusion harnessing AI to speed up the design and build of their compact fusion reactors. It's well worth the click👇 fortune.com/2025/03/10/ai-…

Thrilled to help @epochbio scale their plastic-eating enzymes, turning "unrecyclable" materials into high-value inputs for customers in textiles and beyond. Congrats on the oversubscribed Series A!

How do cash-strapped municipalities fix broken roads without breaking the bank? @carbon_crusher They use bio-binder instead of tar, for longer-lasting roads, lower costs, and less maintenance down the line. Averting up to 150 tons CO2e per mile. carboncrusher.com/news/how-to-bu…

Check out the pod to see how @willob and @UlyssesEcoEng are replenishing seagrass beds, restoring ocean health, and making you wonder why no one did it sooner.

When 77% of biologists can’t reproduce research, lab automation is broken. @trilobio's “built by biologists, for biologists” lab automation platform solves the problem–for faster, cheaper bio R+D. Can’t wait to see the breakthroughs their lab tech unlocks. businesswire.com/news/home/2025…

Big win for @useyardstick. Their faster, cheaper, more accurate soil carbon measurement tech was just validated by Geoderma, the top soil science journal. Anyone who cares about climate, farmers, food security, or supply chain resilience, should celebrate useyardstick.com/press-releases…

When @axios editor @danprimack asked Lowercarbon's @sacca to comment on the LA wildfires, Sacca did not mince words:

RT @SexyLikeMeiosis: The last few years in biotech have had us all asking, “Dude, where’s my industrial bioeconomy?” It may finally be here…

It’s happening. With @CFS_energy's announcement of the site of their first power plant, commercial fusion’s debut is around the corner. Yup, the world's first grid-scale fusion power plant is as big a deal as it sounds. cnn.com/2024/12/18/cli…
