First wildfire images from FireSat are here! FireSat spotted an Oregon fire undetected by existing systems, showing its ability to catch small fires in their earliest stages — an important milestone in our partnership w/ @EarthFireAll & @MuonSpace. More →goo.gle/44RFzeY
We’re making a long-term bet on fusion energy through our partnership with @CFS_energy. This includes the largest direct corporate purchase for fusion energy, and a new investment to help CFS prove out their promising technology and move it closer to commercialization.
Imagine a world powered by the same energy that fuels the sun and the stars. ☀️✨ Today we’re taking our biggest step so far to make this a reality through an investment and offtake agreement with @CFS_energy (CFS). Read more about it in our blog here: blog.google/outreach-initi…
Big step forward today on the market change needed to unlock long-term clean energy growth. Last year, we announced a new utility rate structure developed with @NVEnergy that would enable us to scale the clean firm capacity from our enhanced geothermal project with @fervoenergy…
💥 That’s a wrap on CEBA Connect: Spring Summit 2025 — and what an incredible few days it was! 📊 By the numbers: - 786 registrants - 104 speakers - 19 sponsors - 42 conversation topics - 30 breakout sessions - 2 receptions - 5 side events - 1 after-hours party - 1 sponsored…
We have liftoff! After a successful launch this weekend, the first FireSat satellite is now orbiting Earth 🛰️ It’s the first of a 50+ satellite constellation that will help detect + track wildfires as small as 5x5 meters, using AI. Huge thanks to partners @MuonSpace @EarthFireAll…
New from @CBSNews: Michael Terrell, Senior Director of Clean Energy and Carbon Reduction, spoke with David Pogue about Google’s investments in advanced nuclear power to support data center energy demands. cbsnews.com/news/big-techs…
Great to be featured on this week’s CBS News Sunday Morning, which explores the role of Google in advancing the next generation of nuclear power. ⚛️ Link to full story here: cbsnews.com/video/big-tech…
Big tech companies, including Google, Apple, and Microsoft, invest heavily in clean energy. Google is backing small modular nuclear reactors, a new type of plant that’s smaller, stackable, and always on—key for powering AI data centers. Partnering with Kairos Power, Google aims…
NEW study from @NERA_Economics: If federal clean energy tax credits (48E & 45Y) are repealed, American households would pay an additional $110 per year in electricity bills. Read more: cebuyers.org/blog/ceba-repo…
