In Depth: Long Beach Green Port
Hal talks to Mario Cordero, the CEO of the port of Long Beach about the progress that has been made in the past 20 years since he made the commitment to making the port a "green port." Cordero says that while there is a ways to go before the port is at zero emissions, that it has come a long way. He credits innovations that have allowed the port to transition to electrical power in its trucks, cranes and rail lines as well as shore power.
Manager of Air Quality Practices, Leela Rao explains to Hal how the port monitors emissions and posts it on their website in real time for public awareness.
Otis Cliatt II joins Hal to talk about the Joule, the electric train that runs on the Pacific Harbor Line, which, in addition to the alternative fuel locomotives, is vastly reducing emissions.
Cordero returns in segment three as we take a tour of the Port on a boat to see the new infrastructure and discuss the impact of recent political policy changes, such as tariffs and how they are affecting traffic at the Port and making it challenging for companies to plan for imports and orders.

Hindustan Aeronautics shares in focus today as helicopter fleet gets operational clearance post grounding
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 11, 2025, 09:38 IST Shares of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) were in focus on June 11, trading 0.47% higher at ₹5,135.90 in early hours, after both its Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH) and Prachand Light Combat Helicopters were cleared for flying, as per TOI reports. The clearance comes months after a fatal ALH crash in Porbandar on January 5, which led to a complete grounding of HAL's rotary platforms across the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard. The helicopters were cleared following the replacement of specific components, based on findings by a defect investigation committee. This clearance paves the way for resumed operations and deliveries, which HAL management previously said had impacted Q4 FY25 revenues and margins. With operations now restored, Q1 FY26 onwards is expected to reflect positive contributions from the helicopter segment. The Indian Army, which has over 180 ALHs including 60 weaponised versions (Rudra), was the most affected by the grounding. The Indian Air Force operates 75 ALHs, the Navy 24, and the Coast Guard 19. Additionally, the IAF has 10 Prachand choppers while the Army has five. Notably, in March 2025, the Defence Ministry signed a ₹62,700 crore contract for 156 Prachand helicopters, with 90 units allotted to the Army and 66 to the IAF. Brokerage View According to Antique Broking, Hindustan Aeronautics (Rating: Buy, Target Price: ₹6,545) is set to be a key beneficiary of India's long-term air force modernisation strategy. With the Indian Air Force looking to expand from 32 to 42 squadrons, over 300 new aircraft may be required in the coming years. HAL is well-positioned to capture this opportunity with indigenous platforms like the Tejas Mk-1A, Mk-II, and the fifth-generation AMCA. Production challenges due to delays in engine deliveries from GE are also easing. The first engine was delivered in Q1 FY26, and 12 more are expected within the fiscal year. The execution of the 83-aircraft Tejas Mk-1A order is now expected to accelerate, with prospects of a follow-on order for an additional 97 jets.

Kinesis Network Launches Revolutionary Compute Optimization Platform
Seattle, Washington, June 10th, 2025, Chainwire Protocol enables any computing resource to be exchanged, monetized, and put to work Kinesis Network ('Kinesis'), a platform redefining how the world accesses compute, today announced the launch of the Kinesis Protocol testnet. This foundational infrastructure layer transforms underutilized computing resources into scalable, high-performance, on-demand compute services, powered by blockchain technology. Kinesis enables any underutilized computing resource to be exchanged, monetized, and put to work. Its flexible architecture supports a wide range of real-world applications, including Kinesis Cloud, an innovative platform built to meet the growing compute demands of modern AI workloads. Kinesis uses a unique supply-side software that instantly onboards any personal computer, tablet, or data center server, eliminating Web3 complexity for suppliers. Anyone with computing power can join the network without blockchain knowledge or even a bank account. Customers can access the service just like a traditional cloud provider—no wallets, tokens, or Web3 exposure required. 'Compute should work like a power grid,' said Baris Saydag, CEO of Kinesis. 'You don't think about where electricity was generated or who supplied it—you just plug in and it works. That's what we're building with Kinesis: a decentralized compute grid where anyone can supply, anyone can consume, and compute just flows. No complexity. No friction. Just plug in and go.' JOULE Token Kinesis is powered by JOULE, a protocol token with a non-inflationary design and a fixed supply of one billion tokens that ensure the programmatic functioning of the Kinesis Network. The platform pays providers directly from transaction fees paid by users, rather than inflating new tokens, ensuring a sustainable economic loop rooted in real usage. Delegated Staking Kinesis also offers Delegated Staking, allowing suppliers to use tokens held by third parties to participate in the network and share a portion of the rewards with those delegators. This creates a win-win-win dynamic: suppliers come online with significantly reduced friction. Meanwhile, JOULE holders participate to secure the network while receiving rewards for their participation, and the broader ecosystem grows stronger as more tokens are actively committed to the network, strengthening its overall health and resilience. Large entities can launch their own custom delegation pools, enabling them to onboard suppliers directly from their user base at scale and drive powerful network effects. This mechanism is designed to attract ecosystem-scale partners—platforms and communities with access to large-scale supply—by giving them a direct incentive to activate their networks and share in the upside. Kinesis was founded by a team of technologists with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, large-scale system optimizations, and blockchain. The leadership team brings experience from Microsoft, AWS, IBM, and Meta, combining technical depth with real-world execution. In addition to CEO Baris Saydag, the founding team includes Hamza AK (Chief Operating Officer), Bina Khimani (Chief Product and Revenue Officer), and Toshihito Kikuchi (Chief Architect). 'Kinesis aims to unlock the world's underutilized compute and turn it into high-performance infrastructure that anyone can use, on demand—just like plugging into a power outlet,' said AK. 'Delivering that experience at a global scale requires an economic framework built for efficiency and real-world participation. Delegated Staking is one part of that framework: JOULE holders power the network and earn yield, while enabling suppliers to come online instantly, with no friction. It's a self-reinforcing incentive loop designed to scale with global participation and transform how compute is accessed, supplied, and rewarded.' The Kinesis testnet is now live. 'Bring your hardware, your ideas, or your community. Whether you're a developer, a supplier, a JOULE holder, or a potential partner, this is your invitation to help build the future of cloud,' added AK. About Kinesis Network Kinesis Network ('Kinesis') is a critical infrastructure that transforms underutilized computing resources into scalable, on-demand services. Powered by JOULE, a non-inflationary protocol token with a fixed supply, Kinesis creates an open, tokenized economy for compute, where anyone can supply, anyone can consume, and everything just works. Kinesis abstracts away Web3 complexity on both sides of the network, enabling seamless onboarding for suppliers and a familiar cloud-like experience for customers. Its first flagship product, Kinesis Cloud, delivers radically more efficient AI infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of traditional cloud providers.
