Oakland Developer Phil Tagami’s OBOT Development Gets $75 Million From DOE Via Defense Production ActThe Department of Energy under the Trump Administration is set to give Oakland Developer Phil Tagami’s Oakand Buk and Ovrsized Terminal $75 million, briinging total project funding to $231 million. Here’s the full text from the Department of Energy:West Gateway Terminal ProjectThe West Gateway Project, spearheaded by Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal (OBOT) LLC, is a strategically located bulk commodities export terminal in Oakland, California. It offers direct access to the Pacific Ocean and Indo-Pacific markets, forming a crucial part of a broader, multi-decade initiative to revitalize and reindustrialize the Oakland Army Base (OAB) property within the Port of Oakland, which was decommissioned in the late 1990s. OBOT LLC holds exclusive development rights for the property through an established ground lease with the City of Oakland.Situated on the West Gateway portion of the former OAB site, the project benefits from a 50-foot-deep harbor channel, capable of loading and handling Panamax-class bulk carrier vessels. OBOT LLC aims for an initial 9 to 10-million-ton throughput capacity, leveraging direct access to Class 1 rail via short-line operator Oakland Global Rail Enterprise. The terminal is also equipped to unload large, bulk commodity unit trains and store coal in on-site bulk storage sheds.Insight Terminal Solutions (ITS) has received a sublease from OBOT LLC to develop the West Gateway marine export terminal. ITS plans to finalize design, secure outstanding permits, and complete terminal construction to enable the first cargo shipment by the end of 2028.Investment in this critical infrastructure for OBOT’s bulk commodities export terminal is paramount to national security. It directly bolsters robust domestic coal production, diversifying energy supply chains and fostering economies of scale. By facilitating access to international markets for U.S. coal, the project helps prevent the closure of domestic coal mines by growing demand. This access also preserves the reliability of the supply chain infrastructure and the coal mining workforce through increased throughput, usage, and reinvestment—all essential for the longevity and resilience of the U.S. coal industry.The project aligns with Executive Order 14156, “Declaring a National Energy Emergency,” and the most recent Presidential Determination Pursuant to 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Coal Supply Chains and Baseload Power Generation Capacity.DOE Funding: $75,000,000 Non-DOE Funding: $156,773,000 Total Value: $231,773,000DONALD J. TRUMPThe OBOT was designed to transport call in covered rail cars from mines in the Western United States to ports of call in Asia, and using a just-in-time system designed to bring emissions levels to near zero.Stay tuned,

Note from https://sandiegocomicconnews.com/, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this San Diego Comic Con News video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018.
This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”.
The uploaded video is either from a YouTuber vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, or from a YouTube Channel that has uploaded a video with a keyword that triggers our predetermined keyword, and so then it is posted. In either case, the video is uploaded to and formatted automatically at the San Diego Comic Con News site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages.
The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Zennie62Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed.
The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology investors and partners.
