Fact check
“Crusoe's near‑term plans no longer include Boom's new stationary power plants.”
Reasoning
The evidence reports that Crusoe abandoned a $1.25 B deal for Boom’s Superpower turbines, with company spokespeople confirming that Boom’s turbines are no longer part of Crusoe’s near‑term primary power mix. This directly corroborates the claim.
On confidence: Multiple independent excerpts from the same TechCrunch article directly state that Crusoe has removed Boom turbines from its near‑term power mix.
Important context
Crusoe continues to pursue other energy sources (wind, solar, batteries, grid) but has explicitly excluded Boom’s stationary turbines from its immediate plans.
