Prisma Photonics, an Israeli startup utilizing optical fiber technology to monitor large-scale power-utility infrastructure, has opened its first U.S. office in Austin, Texas.
Founded in 2017, Prisma Photonics works with utilities in the U.S. and Europe to deploy solutions that identify threats to transmission assets in real time while offering line ratings to help utilities comply with FERC regulations and increase capacity on congested networks.
Utility industry veteran Ryan O’Keefe will lead the U.S. as senior vice president of U.S. sales. His career features stints with cleantech companies such as Orsted, NextEra Energy Resources and GE.
“Having worked with power generators, developers and utilities throughout my career, I know firsthand the obstacles we face in deploying a more resilient and reliable grid in the face of rising demand and ongoing threats from severe weather,” says O’Keefe.
“I am honored to be part of a team at Prisma that pioneers a highly scalable industry-leading solution for transmission line monitoring. Leveraging our proprietary technology, we harness existing transmission infrastructure, delivering tailored real-time data to utilities, enabling them to safeguard their transmission assets against physical threats and remain in compliance with FERC’s line rating mandates.”
Prisma Photonics’ optical fiber sensing technology covers several infrastructure sectors, including power, oil and gas pipelines, subsea infrastructure, railways, highways, and other long-range utilities.

The meme here is a reminder that to call oneself a “conservative” used to mean something, other than the desire to conserve America’s racist and imperialistic heritage.
There have been conservatives all throughout U.S. history.
For some reason, our nation’s leaders at the turn of the 20th Century are probably the most notable, with TR and John Muir (national parks pioneer).
But skip ahead and you have those who have shaped environmental protection through science, advocacy, and media. Key figures include Jane Goodall (primatologist), David Attenborough (naturalist), Rachel Carson (author of Silent Spring), Steve Irwin (wildlife educator), climate advocate Bill McKibben, activist Naomi Klein, and Story of Stuff founder Annie Leonard.

The Constant Torrent of Disinformation Targeting Clean Transportation and Favoring Big Oil
Sadly, the world must deal with the cottage industry that has arisen to generation and publish malicious bullshit about electric transportation and clean energy more generally.
The efficiency of internal combustion engines is in the 20s, where the efficiency of charging batteries and discharging them through electric motors is in the high 80s. This is why we could replace every car and light-duty truck on Earth and with EV and experience an increased load on our grid of only about 14%.
The Constant Torrent of Disinformation Targeting Clean Transportation and Favoring Big Oil
Imagine what our country, and our world, would be like today if the United States had addressed Donald Trump’s attempt to overthrow the U.S. government as the act of treason it was.
Former president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro staged a military coup, and, when it failed, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 27 years in prison.
As a result, Brazil, and every other nation on the planet, averted the effects of dealing with this criminal sociopath.
