Friends are telling me this is the moment for a “how it started | how it’s going” post, but I really want to save that for when it hits billions in revenue / tons of co2! So let’s just use this as an excuse to say go @activatefellows, go!!! 🚀
Great point as to why the national lab ecosystem deserves more investor attention!

Congrats to @BrimstoneEnergy for securing $189M from the DOE to decarbonize cement!
HUGE news: Brimstone was selected for a transformational $189 million investment by @ENERGY's Industrial Demonstration Program!
We're thrilled to be part of the single largest industrial
decarbonization effort in U.S. history—learn more:

Firm, renewable power FTW! 🙌 Fervo Energy just closed a big round to bring geothermal energy to a grid near you. #cleanenergy #innovation
Some exciting @fervoenergy news.
We’ve raised a new $244m funding round from leading investors to accelerate development of next-generation geothermal. Demand for 24/7 carbon free energy has never been more urgent, and we’re ready to meet the challenge.

I'll vouch - Duluth does not suck. And love the special from @TheDailyShow on my hometown. But no, there is no refuge for climate change.

1/We @fervoenergy are excited to announce our new geothermal drilling results. We have achieved a 70% YoY reduction in drilling times, dramatically outpacing predictions, and are poised to unleash a new wave of geothermal decades ahead of schedule. THREAD. fervoenergy.com/fervo-energy…
I was an investor during #Cleantech 1.0 and actively avoided - the economics never made sense. For Cleantech 2.0, I've completely rearranged my career to be at the forefront of the #EnergyTransition. Come find out why!
Next on #DiffuseTap, we ask @impactsciencevc Co-Founder @RobertLEthier, about the energy transition movement, key market players, emerging contenders, and common investor pitfalls in the energy transition sector.

Sure Biden and Xi will be meeting this week, but let's be real, @JoeBiden's real highlight was learning about @gradientcomfort's heat pumps from the one and only @VinceRomanin (check out the headline photo)

Huge breakthrough in geothermal for @fervoenergy!
And perhaps more impressive, they got a shoutout in @matt_levine 's Money Stuff's "Things Happen" section
1/Today I am thrilled to announce, after years of work, our team @fervoenergy has developed a major advancement in geothermal, proven it at the field scale, and is set to deliver commercial next-gen geothermal decades ahead of schedule. THREAD. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Huge news in my favorite topic - cement! @BrimstoneEnergy announces that their decarbonized ordinary Portland cement now has third-party ASTM certification. This clears the path to decarbonize an industry responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions.

Ordinary portland cement is durable, strong, and time-tested for more than a century. The big problem: its production process is driving #climatechange.
Solving that problem depends on cutting emissions without compromising on reliability or safety.
Looking forward to meeting the new cohort!!
46 fellows.
39 companies.
4 communities.
1 mission: to reinvent the world by bringing their research to market.

Great point here. Because geothermal is far more modular than other options for getting 24/7 clean power, it can come down the cost curve much faster than alternatives. Just a fraction of the financial support given other energy options can unlock this industry.
Robert Ethier retweeted
My news feed this morning is full of “Green” party members cheering the closure of nuclear power in Germany, which prolongs a reliance on coal, and Burning Man cheering their successful blocking of a renewable energy project.
Depressing all around.
