Startup Fervo’s commercial pilot, Project Red in northern Nevada, passed its production test phase — a 30-day standard — and generated enough energy to power roughly 2,500 homes. Now, it needs offtakers to buy the energy. https://t.co/lDQyJQ0O1m

GOOG: $6.9B +1%
MSFT: $10.7B +23%

Still no sign of hardware refresh or GPU frenzy at Google. Typical FYQ4 spike at MSFT.
