Powering Kenya’s Future: The Siaya Nuclear Power Plant Project
Kenya is standing on the threshold of a historic energy revolution. Energy Cabinet Secretary Hon. Opiyo Wandayi has officially urged for nationwide support as @nuclearkenya and @KenGenKenya embark on the development of the first-ever nuclear power plant in Siaya County. This ambitious KSh 500 billion project is not just about generating electricity; it is a strategic pillar of our national development agenda, designed to provide a stable, clean, and affordable energy base for generations to come. Energy and Petroleum CS further highlighted the government’s commitment to transparency, noting that "public participation is not a mere procedural requirement but a core value of our approach."
As @nuclearkenya, we are committed to leading this transition with the highest standards of safety and transparency. The Siaya plant will initially contribute 1,000 MW to the national grid, serving as a catalyst for industrialization, job creation, and sustainable economic growth. By diversifying our energy mix, we are ensuring that Kenya remains competitive on the global stage while meeting the growing demands of our modern economy.
We invite all stakeholders and the public to join us in this journey toward energy self-sufficiency. Your support is crucial in transforming Kenya into a newly industrialized, middle-income country. Together, we are building a brighter, more resilient future powered by innovation. ^F.K

Yesterday, we held our ceremonial groundbreaking for the Aalo-X colocated data center, turning on in 2027.
This data center, a modular Crusoe Spark system from @CrusoeAI, will run entirely on power from an on-site 10 MWe advanced nuclear plant (Aalo-X).
The program will validate nuclear-powered AI workloads in advance of commercial Aalo Pod deployments.
Let do this!
I've incorporated hundreds of pages of Democrat priorities in the Clarity Act: 33 Dem-driven edits in Title I alone, 23 new illicit finance sections, 30 more CFTC wins, 3 entirely new titles Dems wanted. That's 100+ compromises — yet still not enough for some.
"Perfect" stopped being principled months ago. Now it's just an excuse not to legislate. We have to pass the Clarity Act NOW.

Why Nuclear? ⚛️
A single nuclear plant offers a lifespan of nearly 60-80 years with low maintenance costs, ensuring long-term energy security for Kenya’s growing economy.

Very excited to announce today that @CrusoeAI and @AaloAtomics have partnered to deploy the world’s first AI data center powered by a small modular nuclear reactor, which will be located in Idaho at @INL - together we will pair an Aalo modular nuclear reactor with a Crusoe Spark modular data center to demonstrate a vision of safe, abundant, affordable, clean and reliable nuclear power for the growing needs of AI.

Jesus. Wtf?
Not good

Everyone anticipated China defecting from the open-source strategy as they approach the frontier.
But just as Kimi 3 come within spitting distance of top US closed models, we’re seeing the Chinese double down on keeping things open.
Xi’s speech explicitly makes open access to top models a question of morality, pointing out it will be a fresh historical injustice if the global south are excluded.
Ali Baba’s Qwen previously were not open-weight. But the new Qwen 3.8 will be.
« Angelica you really expect us to believe the Chinese are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts? »
We can’t judge intentions only action. China has signaled their AI strategy clearly while also having their leader tie it to a moral imperative. The cost of a U-turn from here will be high.
Meanwhile, if the US doubles down on an almost comically evil plan to stay hegemon forever by locking in an insurmountable AI advantage and monopolizing access.
Who are you going to root for as a non-American?

Huge congrats to the @AntaresNuclear team, and to the many others who worked tirelessly to make this kind of thing possible again. First new criticality at INL since LOFT 53 years ago!?!? Incredible!
N2E machine. While the US is innovating SMR/MMRs fast to the July 4 deadline, the Chinese maybe waiting on the sidelines to speedily prototype and deploy at scale possibly before it gets finished by the US. AFRICA is at the crossroads. Kudos to @AntaresNuclear for the lead!
