Anduril's $61B valuation embeds unit economics not yet demonstrated at volume. Revenue roughly doubled to $2.2B in 2025, losses run near $1B, and the largest contract figures are ceilings rather than obligated funding. #Anduril #UAS #Drones

If you're wondering; are wind turbines truly effective at reducing carbon emissions, even after accounting for transportation, maintenance, repairs, construction and installation? Yes. They are. #CleanEnergy #WindPower #Renewables

Wind Turbine Lifecycle Emissions and Carbon Payback: Why 11 g CO2-eq/kWh Depends on Capacity Factor, Allocation, and the Displaced Grid
Utility-scale wind converges near 11 g CO2-eq/kWh, but capacity factor, allocation convention, and the displaced grid decide the carbon payback.

Can #Mycelium Composites Replace Petroleum Foams and Molded Plastics? In short: Yes, but they're too weak to do much beyond acoustic panels & light packaging. Near term, home insulation paneling is viable. Concrete alternative? not yet. #Compostability vs #Biodurability

Can Mycelium Composites Replace Petroleum Foams and Molded Plastics?
Packaging holds, insulation is marginal, structural plastic fails. Moisture is the binding limit across all four substitution cases.

Our report on Leonardo's AW609 tiltrotor. Findings:

Still no type certificate, after ~20 years [!]
~7 known orders
Insignificant to the conglomerate #$DRS either way
Uses #$RTX engines.

The next signal is certification precedent for every VTOL behind it in the queue. We've also written on #eVTOL.
