And we’re just getting started!
Two landmark wins for geothermal in 72 hours: @ENERGY awarded $99 million to 21 pilot projects, and @fervoenergy's Cape Station achieved First Power. DOE sees geothermal scaling to 90 gigawatts by 2050, a hundredfold increase from today.

Great to chat with you @SenMcCormickPA about RMUC, a vital program to strengthen the security of critical energy infrastructure in partnership with @NRECANews and @publicpowerorg
Yesterday at @EnergyGOP, we heard testimony on several bills, including my Rural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act, which would keep an @ENERGY program in place to help smaller utilities strengthen their cyber defenses.

Honored to represent the United States at @iaeaorg’s 70th General Conference as President Trump’s energy dominance agenda delivers historic milestones in energy abundance.   Together, we can build a future of partnership and peace, fueled by the awesome power of the atom.

Thanks @SenMikeLee for the opportunity to testify on energy efficiency, hydropower, geothermal, and cybersecurity. American Energy Dominance FTW!
The Biden administration banned the manufacture of most traditional incandescent light bulbs in 2022. My LIT Act brings them back. Should the government be able to pick and choose which household products you’re allowed to buy? Would you like to buy a traditional light bulb?

Absolutely!
