When someone says they're concerned about climate change, it's easy to jump to conclusions. But a startup has found some surprising facts about people across the climate spectrum, from people ready for action all the way to those who deny its happening. https://t.co/AydWqfQ1Zs

Sometimes AI does something no human would think to do. Sometimes that's a bad thing — we call them hallucinations — but sometimes it's not. To whit: Earth AI's recent discovery. https://t.co/1lCY8Lc3dB

A frontrunner in the race to fusion power marked a major milestone today: Commonwealth Fusion Systems installed its demonstration reactor's cryostat base, a 74-ton piece of stainless steel that forms the foundation of the tokamak itself. https://t.co/XmzH3g303S

Problem: AI. Solution: AI? The electrical grid is bracing for years of breakneck demand growth driven in part by tech companies' insatiable thirst for power. Nvidia thinks — unsurprisingly — that AI can solve problems which AI has created. https://t.co/Pzv0xZVVM8

Another day, another massive solar deal to power AI servers. https://t.co/cef4aUnVqd

General Fusion has been chipping away at its unique approach to fusion for years. Now, it's lighting up its latest prototype as new competitors give the startup fresh urgency. https://t.co/6CmNtGSuhC

Heavy batteries have been dragging down EVs, sapping range and making them less fund to drive. But a new startup that's just out of stealth is working with an inexpensive material that could transform batteries and battery manufacturing. https://t.co/e7531ndWBG

Mujeeb Ijaz returns to the corner office at Our Next Energy, just over a year after he stepped aside to serve as CTO. https://t.co/3Jj59YXoqA

I tend to think that interesting things happen at the edges, when one idea bumps up against another. Case in point: Renaissance Fusion, where plasma physics and semiconductor lithography have inspired a new take on the stellarator. https://t.co/tHs8UTEdey

Adversity makes strange bedfellows. https://t.co/Dpp8szVxWL

Nuclear startup X-Energy added another $200 million to an already significant fundraise from October. https://t.co/Ye1qc5BX71

Ever visited an EV charger that looked fine on the map but was either broken or blocked? One startup is using AI to guide drivers to the best EV chargers. https://t.co/sJkPySvuFS

With its fourth fund in five years, Hitachi Ventures is looking for more deep tech startups to invest in. https://t.co/A2t5ZVBYox

Displacing fossil fuels isn't easy — they have a century-plus head start, and they're really cheap. But one company found a way to undercut fossil fuels in one market using nothing but a pilot-scale reactor. It might be the first domino of many. https://t.co/bWDymeX3If

Nature-based carbon removal gets another big vote of confidence from Microsoft. https://t.co/ulwr52Padx

Climate change played a big role in LA's wildfires, a new study found. Given that this is our future, I looked at a range of startups that are helping us adapt to the new reality. https://t.co/bc31PCNMYD

Mexico is also in the middle of a power crunch, and the sunny country is increasingly turning to solar. Now, a startup is building the first virtual power plant to help smooth the transition. https://t.co/j53VPOQYBi
