Great success at Reindustrialize 🇺🇸 We brought some new hardware: 1. 30kW (40hp) hybrid powerplant 2. 90kW (120hp) submerged propulsor 3. 180kW (242hp) integrated motor drive 4. 1MW (1341hp) integrated motor drive Thank you to the @reindsummit team. Amazing event. Time to build 🔨

This is what it looks like to reindustrialize America: American workers, American factories, American supply chains and American solar technology. It’s how First Solar is helping rebuild the American industrial base from the ground up. 👉 #AmericasSolarCompany# #SolarPower# #MadeInUSA# #America250#

This Tuesday in Detroit at @Reindustrialize: First Solar hosts a colloquium on American Manufacturing at the Frontier: AI, Energy, & Supply Chain Sovereignty. Mark Widmar (@FirstSolar) and Isaiah Taylor (@ValarAtomics) in conversation, moderated by Nick Solheim (@AmMoment). The Dennison Room, Tuesday, 10:30–11:15 am. Spaces are limited — register via the Reindustrialize app.

.@hargsb joins CNBC's Morning Call today to talk about our $1 billion Series C round and why it’s critical that private capital is investing in U.S. defense systems in order to reindustrialize American manufacturing.

Reindustrialization is ez Just kidding, obviously it’s insanely hard And only Elon could have built SpaceX But if we had 10 vertical winners in hardware then America would naturally reindustrialize

6 yrs ago I went on a walk w/ @2112Power We talked about the end of history that was coming down the pipe & how we needed to build companies to reindustrialize America to be ready 6 months later we led the Hadrian seed @ $17m Excited to announce they just raised $1.4b @ $7.9b

Gavin Baker and a16z's David George on the state of the AI boom: The future doesn't have to be winner-take-all. Labs, open-source, applications, and the clouds can all capture value. Demand for intelligence is still dramatically underestimated. Today's power users number in the millions and will grow to hundreds of millions. Gavin and David argue a compute shortage is a more real risk than an AI bubble, and building through it is an opportunity to reindustrialize America. In this episode, they get into why compute investments pay back so fast, what the data center backlash gets wrong, the case for putting compute in orbit, why enterprises will run several models at once, and how Nvidia ended up at the center of the entire supply chain. 00:00 Intro 01:06 The bear case Gavin couldn't find 05:50 Why a lab would cut its own revenue 75% 08:05 What LPs get wrong about a crash 10:50 Microsoft slowed its capex and regrets it 14:33 The engineers spending 100x the median 17:35 Why 23-year-olds use AI better than Gavin 21:45 How much copper 500M AI users need 23:00 Stop promising to cure cancer 26:00 America's richest county is full of data centers 30:48 Who gets priced out of compute 33:05 The age of Elon and Jensen 34:25 Orbital data centers 44:40 Asteroid mining 48:12 Why Microsoft doesn't need a frontier model 54:02 Who becomes the abstraction layer 55:40 Everyone wanted a deity, Cursor wanted a product 1:00:25 Never take shots at Jensen 1:07:40 What happens when the chip doesn't work 1:12:10 What chip deals reveal about customer demand YouTube: @GavinSBaker @DavidGeorge83

American manufacturing and American supply chains mean American jobs. They also help deliver prosperity to communities across the country. We’re proud to bring jobs to the communities where we operate, and prosperity to the families who live there. “I am a single mother to one beautiful daughter. I’ve actually lived in Ottawa all my life,” said Stacey Bragg, Quality Technician for @nsgpilkington in Ottawa, Illinois, which makes high-tech float glass for First Solar modules. “What I do is check our glass to keep our clients happy and make sure everything is up to par. It’s very important to us that we keep the float lines open.” Learn more about America's Solar Workers - #FirstSolar# #AmericasSolarCompany# #Reindustrialize# #MadeInUSA#

First Solar’s investment in American manufacturing and American supply chains creates good-paying jobs that help bring prosperity to American communities. @nsgpilkington, which makes high-tech glass for our Series 7 solar modules at its Ottawa, Illinois, facility, is a great example of how reindustrialization can create a positive economic impact in the communities where companies operate. “Jobs are hard to come by in this day and age. And when our community sees a company like NSG investing in themselves, that’s a guarantee to those employees and to our community that they’re gonna be here for a while. And that’s what’s important.” — Robert Hasty, Mayor, Ottawa, Illinois 🎥 Learn more about the impact that NSG Group has on its local economy as part of our US supply chain. #FirstSolar# #NSGGroup# #AmericasSolarCompany# #Reindustrialize# #MadeInUSA#
