Curt Cignetti just released the following video. This is awesome. Everything about his takeover of the program and their rise to becoming one of the nation’s best is awesome. Too early to say they should start working on a statue in Bloomington???

Only 4 types of power plants can realistically get built in the next 5–10 years: gas, solar, wind, and batteries. But as states attack renewables and rush to gas, turbine backlogs are now 7–8 years. If we want power soon, we need renewables in the mix. Fast.
An interesting comment from a Former $META employee. ENERGY is the biggest bottleneck right now. Even if $META wants to spend $100-$150B on CapEx for AI infrastructure, they can't. It is not just $NVDA. Transformers, power equipment, cooling equipment, and the availability of power it is all limited right now. Schneider Electric is completely booked until 2030. Even if you have the money, you can't spend it.

Per league sources, WR Terry McLaurin has agreed to a multi-year, max-value deal with the Indianapolis Colts. The Washington standout is headed home. Contract details expected soon.

Our bright ☀️ American future hangs in the balance - as the Senate gets ready to vote on the reconciliation bill. If they choose to rollback the clean energy tax credits in a partisan manner, we will all lose. We, as Americans, will all lose. Period. npr.org/2025/06/27/nx-s1-544…

The US is falling behind the curve on solar power – a key energy source of the 21st century. We are losing our edge to China on the technology that we originally invented. Now Senate republicans want to take out our solar industry at the knees in their "Big Beautiful Bill":

The Senate is about to vote on a bill that would raise electricity prices in every single state. It would cut off America's fastest growing sources of new electricity at a time when we need it most. Some states would see their bills go up by 20%+ as a result of this bill.

If the Senate passes this bill, the biggest winner will be Chinese AI companies. Training AI models takes an enormous amount of electricity. This bill would cut off the fastest-growing sources of new electricity supply. Utilities will be forced to turn away new data centers.

Right now the Senate is debating a bill that would increase electricity prices in every state. If this bill passes, some states would see their bills go up by 29% in the next 4 years.

🚨 CBO is out 🚨- the Senate bill adds over $3.9 trillion to the debt as written. Way more if extended. crfb.org/blogs/cbo-score-sho…

Wow, the trade union that represents America’s 3 million construction workers just said the Senate’s big bill would be “the biggest job-killing bill in our country’s history.” They think it threatens up to 1.75 million construction jobs.

At a moment of rapid demand growth and a growing electricity affordability crisis, the Republican's One Big Horrible Bill will RAISE TAXES on the only new sources of electricity we are able to rapidly add to the US grid in four different ways.
This is unbelievably bad. I am astonished that the Senate language got WORSE overnight than even the House version. This One Big Horrible Bill will raise energy costs, kill $100s of billions of new investment in energy & manufacturing, make our grid less reliable, increase pollution, and constrain our ability to compete with China for the future or AI. Total loser stuff.

With a record 118 gigawatts constructed, PV topped all other technologies in new-build terms and was the most popular technology deployed in a third of nations in 2019. More from our Power Transition Trends 2020 report here. bloom.bg/302riMf
