A new facility in Bedford, Massachusetts is now home to @fourthpowerinc’s first full-scale energy storage demonstration.
The goal: multi-day storage that can beat gas peakers on cost and deliver affordable, reliable, clean power when the grid needs it most.

Lower costs. More supply certainty. Better tools for growers.
That’s what @pivotbio is building toward with U.S.-produced nitrogen and new crop nutrition technology developed with farmers and the realities they face in mind.

Breakthrough-backed @stoke_space just raised $1B to push fully reusable launch closer to reality.
Better launch economics can unlock a much bigger space economy—and more of what we build there can serve life here on Earth.

@fervoenergy + @Google are going big on geothermal.
Nearly 400 MW from Cape Station will power Google beginning in 2028, bringing Fervo to ~1 GW total contracted.
A major vote of confidence in reliable, round-the-clock geothermal.
