What does Oklo’s progress mean for the work ahead? On @SPGlobal’s Energy Evolution podcast, Oklo CFO Craig Bealmear joined @AbbieRBennett to discuss how the opportunity for advanced nuclear has changed and why execution will determine which companies deliver. Craig talks about Oklo’s Groves Isotope Test Reactor, which went from a greenfield site to criticality in less than a year, and gave Oklo concrete experience in construction, procurement, and bringing a nuclear facility into operation. Delivering electricity from our Aurora powerhouses will require applying many of those lessons from Groves, with fuel supply, construction capability, and supply chains central to our ability to deploy. For those following Oklo’s long-term progress, Craig explains what we’ve accomplished and what we need to build for the next stage. Listen to the conversation: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Doubling down on secrecy is certainly a strategy that a utility could take! The Entergy-Google deal that was mistakenly disclosed by Entergy reveals how difficult it can be to track whether a data center is actually paying its full costs 1/
Appalling: Energy company drags a mother into federal court, trying to stop her from sharing FOIA'd records -- records the state *gave her* -- about an Arkansas data center. And it wants the court to censor newspaper coverage. She left the courtroom "weeping loudly."
