Solar + storage is the most scalable way to deploy energy with implacable learning rates. Once temporary stopgaps run out, the vast majority of incremental GWs will be solar. TAR will deploy it at unprecedented speed; we’re thrilled to partner with their exceptional team.

Data center power demand is driving a step-change in gas turbine and engine orders. Manufacturers logged +$115bn in new orders in 2025 (+43% YoY), with data centers now a dominant demand driver. Supply is not keeping up thus far with lead times stretching into 2029–2032 + capex costs have ~2x'd since 2023. But, the industry has committed $4bn to expand production capacity, but relief likely a few years away.

All answers sought from the silicon God must pass through the approved priesthood first. Very 1517.

Replying to @sabinedoering
In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch. In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG. Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.
