TLDR: The author takes an adrenaline-fueled tour of a Seattle cement plant, geeking out over limestone processing, tire-burning kilns, and Boston Dynamics robot dogs while learning about industrial manufacturing firsthand.

TLDR: Kelly visits a second nuclear fusion research facility for an early-morning tour, comparing it to her previous NDA-restricted visit and noting the welcoming atmosphere, meme-filled culture, and potential for future collaboration.

TLDR: The author accidentally signs up for the wrong nuclear power plant tour during Fusion Energy Week, tours a fusion research lab under NDA, and stops by a clothing swap beforehand -- calling the experience one of the coolest things she has ever done.

TLDR: Kelly attends a fusion and fission energy event covering nuclear energy investments, energy grid infrastructure, and the differences between fusion and fission technologies, connecting it to broader financial and environmental themes.

TLDR: Kelly watches Enron's first earnings call in over 20 years, which turns out to be a wildly theatrical and entertaining live performance covering their energy comeback, Lockheed Martin partnership, Texas electricity market disruption plans, and comedic production-style mishaps.

TLDR: A lively lunch-and-learn discussion on geoengineering where participants debate sulfur dioxide injection, ocean reflectivity, carbon removal, and the ethics of large-scale climate intervention, with the author noting how disorganized and disconnected the climate solutions industry appears.

TLDR: Author attends a nuclear fission lunch-and-learn featuring a Bill Gates-backed company building plants in Wyoming, then realizes mid-event she had confused fission with fusion and questions why billions are being invested in older fission tech when fusion may be the future.

TLDR: A Clean Tech Alliance lunch event featuring two speakers on battery technology -- one highly technical virtual talk on solid-state sulfide batteries that was nearly incomprehensible due to bad audio, and a second engaging talk on lithium-ion energy storage systems covering falling battery prices, grid-scale storage, and the political uncertainty around clean energy incentives.

TLDR: Detailed notes from the Tech Alliance Policy Matters Summit covering AI's massive energy demands, Washington State's aging power grid, hydrogen and fusion energy developments, and fire surveillance technology. The post also examines Microsoft's responsible AI pitch, AI-powered college advising bots, and personalized medicine, all through a critical lens questioning accountability and transparency.
