Catherine Clifford reports for CNBC that TerraPower has raised $750 million. “TerraPower also wants to commercialize a kind of molten salt reactor technology that could be used to provide carbon-free energy to heavy industrial operations, like water treatment plants, chemical processors and heavy industrial users.

"'Sorghum allows for a new kind of agriculture, more sustainable, as it preserves resources,' said Coutte, 40, standing in a field of waist-high sorghum in Saint-Escobille, 75 km (47 miles) south of the French capital. 'We must think about tomorrow's agriculture, and how we can produce food without massive water use.'"

"To that end, the company recently closed its Series G-2 financing round, in which it secured $250 million from investors in the energy, technology, and engineering sectors. By avoiding carbon and particulate emissions, TAE's safe, non-radioactive method minimizes any negative effects on the environment or the effects of climate change."
The government needs to get out of the way. It’s time to let America build again.
"This new biotech-enabled Green Revolution promises a future in which more food from higher yields grown using less fertilizer means more farmland restored to nature, less water pollution, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions."
"Still, the legislation’s many boosts to solar might not overcome other counterweights, such as ongoing supply shortages, allegations of forced labor, uncertainty about a federal probe on tariffs and lengthening queues for solar farms to get on the electric grid, according to observers."
