Oakland News: Phil Tagami’s Low Emissions OGRE Locomotive Fights Climate Change
ONN – Oakland News: Oakland’s Phil Tagami’s Low Emissions OGRE Locomotive Fights Climate Change.
Phil Tagami, Managing Director of California Capital Investment Group (CCIG), has introduced the Oakland Global Rail Enterprise (OGRE) Low Emissions Locomotive.
The OGRE Locomotive will be used to haul bulk commodities to the Insight Terminal Solutions Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal (OBOT), of which Mr. Tagami is co-developer.
On his Facebook page, Phil Tagami launched the Oakland news, writing “California Capital Investment Group is grateful to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) Community Health Protection Grant program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program for their continued support and progress making this new less polluting, tier 4 locomotive purchase possible for the Oakland Global Rail Enterprise (OGRE) and West Oakland Pacific Rail (WOPR) Joint Venture.”
The OGRE, combined with the use of the covered cars and automated storage shelters that make up the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal (OBOT), usher in a new era of low-emissions heavy industry equipment that will save jobs, not destroy them.
Now, climate change activists and traditional industry representatives have a product they can rally around, the OGRE Locomotive, and a project called the Insight Terminal Solutions Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal.
The Oakland City Council also had a massive hand in making this happen, in the form of Council President Rebecca Kaplan. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf now has a reason to support the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal .
Stay tuned.
Oakland News Now Note: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest version of an experimental Zennie62Media mobile media video-blogging system network. This is a major part of our new approach to the production of news media. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-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. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media 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 also seek interested content and media technology partners.
