Flyover Event

The AI boom creates a lot of friction. …literally, not just on social media. All that compute consumed by chatbots and agents generates thermal waste. Gradian Thermal Solutions is solving that problem from the Midwest. Their $60M, 500,000 sq ft plant in Dayton, Minnesota is now building the chillers and liquid cooling that keep data centers alive. They employ 150 people to date and are on track to bring 850 more jobs to Dayton in the coming years. AI models are developed in California, but the infrastructure that sustains their operation is tucked away in smaller locales across Middle America.

Americans are the greatest innovators in history. We're reindustrializing America. We're automating factories. We're building flying cars. We're going to conquer the stars. There is no stopping us.

Ben Franklin got struck by lightning on purpose. Maybe you’ve heard the story before of how an American tradesman without a college degree combined a simple kite and a key to tame lightning. Franklin conducted his experiment in 1752, at a time when electricity was not fully understood. Scientists and academics in Europe were studying static electricity, and the hypothesis circulated that lightning might also be a form of electricity. But none of them dared to go outside and goad the forces of nature. It took an AMERICAN to do it. For his unorthodox field experiment, the Royal Society in London awarded Franklin a medal in 1754. The study of electricity wasn’t broken open by a Parisian salon or an Oxford academic, but by a self-employed printer from Philadelphia who braved the storm. Americans have been on the forefront of hard tech since before we called ourselves “Americans.” We’re going to stay there. Build American.
