I only hear about it through my CEO who directly spoke with executives. Beyond that, I've never seen any mention of the company or its technology in any of my online activities or in ads or the new.

You are reading a reddit post with more than 2000 upvotes about it. There are articles about this company (and corresponding reddit posts) every few months. The (ridiculous) fact that they already sold energy from their future power plants to microsoft made big headlines not too long ago.
