Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Strongest empirical milestone in this set (3,000 h, model within 2%), but evidence is single-well, vendor-sourced, and silent on the numbers that determine real economics, with the marquee Meta deal not on-grid until 2030.
Next
Seek independent or peer-reviewed confirmation of flow rate and multi-well field economics, and watch the ~3 GW pipeline / 150 MW Meta New Mexico project convert to a built multi-well plant before treating as deployable.
