"We've made nuclear power far harder to build because regulations focus on eliminating every conceivable risk.
A different reactor design could change that by operating below the point where a nuclear chain reaction can sustain itself, making a runaway reaction impossible and allowing the reactor to be switched off instantly.
If that approach proves commercially viable, it could unlock a new generation of safer, easier-to-approve nuclear power."

OFFICIAL: Voyager completes acquisition of @Astrobotic, which was recently awarded a
new @NASA contract for two lunar landers valued at approximately $298M. Astrobotic is
now Voyager Lunar Systems. Griffin Mission One — 10 payloads, lunar South Pole,
NET November 2026 — is next.

The number of rigs drilling for “miscellaneous” (e.g. geothermal, CCS) has doubled in the last year.
1. This has become a real growth sector for the industry.
2. At 2% of rigs, lots of running room until geothermal starts running into supply constraints.
California 🤝 @AnthropicAI
We're entering a partnership to strengthen cybersecurity and provide @ClaudeAI to state agencies — and California local governments — at a 50% discount.
The Golden State helped build Silicon Valley — and every Californian should benefit from the responsible use of their latest innovations.
We've been named a 2026 Technology Pioneer by @wef! With our next-gen rare-earth separation platform, we’re joining a global group of start-ups transforming #technology for public good.

Very grateful that @DCVC was able to back this effort to expand civilizational compute capacity from the start
We were proud to welcome @ENERGY@SecretaryWright to @INL, where significant progress is underway on our first commercial Aurora powerhouse.
Together with the strides we're making toward criticality at our Groves Isotope Test Reactor in Texas, Oklo’s work on full civil nuclear facilities is moving forward on multiple fronts. Construction, fuel, licensing, and engineering are advancing in parallel, compressing timelines and redefining the pace of advanced nuclear deployment.
We're grateful for Secretary Wright's leadership and the continued partnership of DOE and INL as we work together to turn advanced nuclear from ambition into deployment.
Losing Om is such a colossal bummer thrown at us by fate, or whatever you want to call it. Everyone dies, but this passing is far too soon. One of the few human and humanist, kind and honorable, literate and tasteful, brave and original figures in the Valley. Tech will be much poorer without him, and without his vision, both bracing and edifying.
Yesterday we hosted media at the INL DOME for a firsthand look at our Five Phases of Reactor Development.
Today, we're back to celebrate the Golden Era of Nuclear Power!

For the first time on record, solar generated more electricity than coal across the entire U.S. - despite active federal policy pushing the other direction.
☀️ Good news: The UK shut off its last coal plant in 2024. China now installs more wind and solar annually than the rest of the world combined. And last month, the U.S. crossed a milestone that seemed impossible five years ago: solar beat out coal on the national grid, for the first time in history.
🌡️ Not-so-good news: A super El Niño is set to supercharge heatwaves, droughts, and floods in the coming year. These in turn impact everything from coral bleaching risks to food price spikes worldwide.
