So, I’m reading that the 'big idea' for 2026 is bringing nuclear power back to commercial shipping. The high-level executive briefings are calling it the only 'true green solution' for the giant container ships and LNG carriers. They’re talking about fourth-generation molten salt reactors that could theoretically run a ship for years without refueling.

Just saw the news about the EU launching 'OceanEye' and Barcelona building a 'Digital Twin' of their port using AI drones. Part of me (the guy who loves a clean dataset) is fascinated. Imagine being able to see every blade of seagrass and calculate blue carbon in real-time without ever dropping a tethered camera.

Anyone else following these 'Ocean Digital Twins'? Or are you still partial to the view from the deck?

BTW was able to get the video of the train this time after being stopped at a crossing (well, crossing junction.) This is a #Brightline testing/training train, they'll be running the things for real in a week or so, but right now they're training their engineers.

The crossing is the Monterey, Road crossing, about a mile from the bridge where it had to slow down to 30-40mph It's going South, so has already crossed the bridge. So this thing has impressive acceleration judging from the video!
