Building @TerminusIndstrl
High-Voltage Transformers

@waynenilsen Terminus is a big supporter of @Maddox - great example of a team that is not afraid to get their hands dirty!

Selling to utilities is no quest for the faint of heart.

@skupor @USTechForce @USOPM Amazing!! So exciting to see @USTechForce attract young and eager talent - this is essential for our country’s future

I am shocked and incredibly disappointing to see founders mislead the public about their in-house manufacturing capability.

Please stop doing this - it damages credibility of the reindustrialization movement.

Nobody 100% vertically integrates on day 1! Building shit is hard, expensive, takes a long time - that’s totally fine!

@pmarca Why would we ever allocate compute to things like autonomous equipment, disease detection, smart irrigation, real-time power coordination, traffic planning or education? 🤦‍♀️

[bridget youngs @bridgetyoungs]

Also agree. Would also add:

Transmission operators lack of visibility into the distribution system is a structural blocker which is being removed in some places, but not nearly fast enough.

We CAN improve timelines to actually build upgrades after a study is complete. Increased production of high-quality transmission equipment is critical in every market.

@Dylan_Morri Epic 😂😂

Playing the interconnection queue has always been a gamble - this is how good power developers differentiate themselves.

They know when to bet.

Having a huge balance sheet does not make you a good developer. In fact, it’s almost always scrappy shops that develop the most megawatts.

@sedgley_patrick @Simon__Grimm Demonstrate the project has permits, procurement on long-lead equipment is done, EPC contract in place, funding is there

[bridget youngs @bridgetyoungs]

@Simon__Grimm It would also help if the ISOs ran studies on software from this century

Last week on the road - KKR, Blackstone, Apollo, GIP

@jonwerthen @TerminusIndstrl Thank you Jon!

@elonmusk @DataRepublican All payment approval data is on the public record, and anyone that takes the time to read it will immediately discern that citing the federal register is not a legitimate use of funds.

Maybe USAID should have spent more money improving domestic literacy rates. 🙄

[bridget youngs @bridgetyoungs]

A little bit of basic networking math to redirect direct low-priority compute and eliminate the need for six-nines at every interconnect would go a LONG way

Developers gambling with years on their interconnection are setting themselves up for force majure

What do Stanley tumblers and large power transformers have in common?

The same lineage of invention going back to one man: William Stanley Jr. (1858 - 1916)
