I have yet another graduation coming up on Friday. This one is kinda bullshit though. It's not a school. It's work. It's the same thing I'll be doing at sea. I'm gonna have to qualify and learn a new plant. Except when I qualify on a commissioned boat they're just gonna be like, "It's about damn time, you can now support the watchbill."
Venice is building a 40 MW power plant that produces energy from algae. Iceland has invested a lot into geothermal. Denmark or something is utilizing the oceans' currents. France is seeking a more fundamental solution and in the process expanding humanity's understanding of the universe (CERN). Solar panels, wind turbines, etc. The only real advantage fission has as an alternate energy source is it's strategic convenience, which is why the navy uses it. It's like an outlet vs. a battery. And since I've seen what even minor negligence can do to a person's career in the navy's nuclear program, and knowing the plants' design and operation, I trust them to park 20 of them in the port of a major city.
Went to a friend's house and hour and a half south of here for Easter. I got to help hide Easter Eggs for his little siblings. It was an odd transition from the navy. I had to bite my tongue a lot. I can be professional and then not, but that required something different from me that I'm not used to. Sure, I live in a house with a baby right now, but it's a baby. I need to go to work.
