Building a bio-shield for humanity by ~2030 is one of the great quests (to use @_sholtodouglas' term) of our time. It's one of the biggest, most exciting technological challenges ever
This is why I'm excited about @pilgrimlabs
1/ Biological threats can bring a country to a halt without a single shot being fired. Yet much of our biodefense infrastructure has barely changed in decades, even as America’s institutions produce extraordinary scientific breakthroughs.

Inject this 45 seconds directly into America's veins.
We don't need to choose between growth and the environment. We can have both, we can innovate, we can produce more, we can flourish.
Americans are innovators
60 million Americans need water from the Colorado River
Cloud seeding is an American innovation that provides water to:
- help our farmers and cattlemen
- housing developments and industry
- make ecosystems, like the Great Salt Lake, beautiful

fun fact: many VC terms and structure came from whaling expeditions.
the whaling agent (GP) raised money from wealthy merchants (LPs) and used it to fund multiple voyages, taking a cut of the profits of each.
the captain and crew didn't get wages, they got the "lay" (carry), a specified fraction of whatever they brought back. "carried interest" is literally the cargo that was carried back that the investors had interest in.
voyages took three or four years, and many of them lost money, but the few profitable ones paid for the others.

EMP-hardened transformers made in the US with short build times.
Seems important.
Approval ≠ power.
The US is facing 160+ week GSU Transformer lead times.
~125-week HV breakers.
Utilities ordering ~5 years out.
Most transformer bids still overseas.
Resolute Grid: US supply chain. EMP-hardened. Short design + fab.

Ayn Rand predicted this
Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, and most of hollywood (each worth 10s to 100s of millions) will rabidly insist that Elon is evil simply because he is a billionaire
Yet they are living in one of their 3-4 beautiful mansions and he is living in an airstream so he can work on building superintelligence and employing people
Elon Musk has temporarily moved into a motor home on-site in Tennessee.
Speaking on the All-In podcast, he confirmed he is staying in an Airstream trailer parked directly at the Memphis facility. Living here allows him to work alongside engineers to speed up work on xAI's Colossus supercomputer.
