Unleashing the potential of nuclear energy for the good of all.

@elonmusk And with the instant translate feature it really is bringing ideas together across the globe. Sometime I don’t even realize the post was translated.

Construction of a novel next-generation #nuclear reactor began today in Tennessee. @KairosPower is building the first fluoride-salt-cooled, high-temperature reactor. It's one of several small modular reactors to help power data centers: https://t.co/fuMWJHq5ir

A major milestone for American energy dominance right here in the Tennessee Valley 🇺🇸
@KairosPower has broken ground on the Hermes 2 Demonstration Plant in Oak Ridge, its first commercial scale reactor and the first power producing Generation IV reactor to receive a U.S. construction permit.
Once complete, Hermes 2 is expected to deliver up to 50 megawatts of reliable, affordable, and clean energy to the TVA power system, helping meet growing demand across the region as we continue building tomorrow together.

I was happy to be at the "site warming" for @KairosPower's Hermes 2 demonstration reactor. Kairos' fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor design is a game changer for small modular reactors. This facility further solidifies East Tennessee as the epicenter of the American nuclear renaissance.

Tremendous news for @KairosPower!

[Kairos Power @KairosPower]

We just broke ground on our second advanced reactor in East Tennessee.

Hermes 2 will be our first power-producing reactor and the first deployment under our deal with Google to bring clean, reliable power to the region.

A huge thanks to @ENERGY, @GovNuclear, @Google, @TVAnews, @ORNL, @cityofoakridge and @RoanecoTNgov for their support.

Special thanks to @RepChuck and @GovBillLee for their recorded remarks.

Let's get to work!

Elon, with cars getting smarter and autonomously reacting to the road and conditions around them. I am thinking it is time roads get smarter as well. Should not be very hard would to implement a stripped down FSD model into traffic lights, to manage traffic flow better? @elonmusk

Help me understand! I booked flights for me, my wife, and 2 kids (14 and 12) from San Francisco to Johannesburg return through @ASAPtickets, flights on @united with codeshare on @lufthansa and @FlySWISS. Checking the flight details, we are all seated behind each other in a middle row. United Airlines state they have a policy that kids under 15 get priority to sit with parents, but for me, moving the kids to sit next to a parent now costs minimum $50 per seat (2) per leg of the flight, of which there are 4. That gets to me $400 extra just to have my kids seated next to me - regardless of the policy. I am told to ask the desk staff to be reseated when boarding - just imagine that conversation!! Not entitled here, I believe I have a right to demand our kids sit with a parent as per airline policy, without having to beg a counter attendant. @united please assist?

[Anthonie Cilliers @antcilliers]

Really @united ???

[Anthonie Cilliers @antcilliers]

@Mr_PeterM Pretty, but nothings beats this

[Anthonie Cilliers @antcilliers]

Really @united ???

@elonmusk and @woodhaus2, I am curious about what inspired the current Tesla design language. For a long time, I thought that the South African Impala Mk II (Italian designed Macchi MB-326) military jet are one of the most beautiful, timeless and proportionately balanced aircraft ever designed. Had similar feelings about the Tesla 3 (and all other models), then I noted something, the proportions and lines are staggeringly similar. From the windshield shape, low rounded nose, to the arching lines over the rear wheels (wings). My question, has this plane design inspired anything in the current Tesla designs, is it an outcome of similar design objectives, or pure coincidence? Either answer would be satisfying, I just can’t help but try to connect two of my favorite looking products.
