WHAT IS THE ITC?
The Role Of ITC In Energy Investment
The Investment Tax Credit, enhanced by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, was designed to reduce the financial barrier to energy investment, enabling organizations to recover costs faster and improve long-term economics. It supports both commercial businesses through tax credits and tax-exempt entities through direct pay, while helping reduce reliance on the grid and stabilize future energy costs.

“Tokenmaxxing”: Why AI Adoption Theatre Is Replacing Real ROI
Across industries, a new behavior is emerging inside boardrooms and operating teams: “tokenmaxxing.” The term captures a growing tendency for businesses to aggressively deploy AI tools—not because they are strategically aligned, but because they signal modernity, efficiency, and innovation.

The United States installed 34,200 industrial robots in 2024-9% lower than 2023. In the meantime, China increased new installations by 7% and now has 2 million+ robots in operation, more than the next four countries combined.
Former NASA Robotics Chief: America is building the wrong kind of robots — and China knows it
When China lined up a troupe of humanoid robots to dance in front of the German Chancellor earlier this year, a lot of people saw an impressive display of the nation’s technological prowess — but I saw something else. I’m from Texas. I know bragging when I see it.
