@FitsPlanNow From what I can see FITS is a scalable efficient upgrade to an obsolete infrastructure in need of upgrades and massive repair to handle a nation inspired to bring home manufacturing. In my opinion, who ever is first to a FITS type solution is going to become dominant supply cha

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow So what I am hearing is there would be multiple in and off points throughout the loop whereby increasing the opportunity to provide short range transportation?

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow Very true as it appears the system is based on redundancy which is always critical in primary systems

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow @BigNick3264 I like the concept of building the foundation once then customizing as technology and current times dictate

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow With all the buzz on data centers, aging infrastructure, high fuel cost impacting our daily lives, sounds a modular single source solution like FITS with integrated SMRs is the future.

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow In my opinion, airport adjacent infrastructure has a missing connective layer between it and physical transportation system because the lack clarity and definition, in part because airports are major hubs, requires a clearly defined intermodal hand-off node, which is FITS

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow If America is reshoring manufacturing, what infrastructure connects factories to freight hubs, distribution centers and final mile?

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow This is accomplished by using a modular architected thereby shifting from a static design to evolutionary, event driven architecture.

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow This is a great question and my answer is scalability. As technology evolves so does the environment it serves the ability to scale is essential without requiring complete replacement. Modular technology is appearing on many tech fronts and appears to be the premise of FITS

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow Our current interstate system reflects this belief. Today's world is complex, and our road system is limited. A unified system means one system to maintain and a standardized parts list that would allow for quantity purchasing

@FitsPlanNow Typical government and utility companies. We are hanging on to an old school of thought similar to our transition from a national to global economy.

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow True shared loop ring is scalable, high resiliency and better utilization. Con is more complex coordination but has a shared risk . Whereas isolated sites are locally controlled easy to deploy bring poor network redundancy, harder to optimize nationally in time of need

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow AI may open new thought processes that take projects in new direction but it fails to apply reasoning and logic which is why it is a tool, not a silver bullet

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow Currently the US treats power, data, and freight as separate entities, but all three demand electricity, AI, logistics, and national security. Without unification, the nation cannot scale uniformily, reliably, efficiently or safely consistently

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow FYI - a single entity for power distribution, data, freight corridors and upgrades our national grid matters because modern infrastructure no longer works on separate systems. FITS clearly highlights the antiquity of our current infrastructure for a great nation

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow Our success as a nation came from being united. We need to remember what we can achieve as a collective and apply it to our infrastructure which truly will serve as the nervous system of our great country moving forward.

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow When thinking about breakthroughs , apply that to FITS, you need to be open to a grand scale all encompassing solution that binds, reduces and secures our county infrastructure, energy and transportatation cost

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow With diesel fuel at 6.44 gallon a national SMR supported system reduces transportation cost and expands redundancy

[Grant @Granite2026]

@FitsPlanNow the TVA SMR project approval, it is a local energy asset, designed to serve regional load growth only If it was part of a national infrastructure capable of moving supplies, people, and energy three levels nationally to promote green transportation at a significantly reduced
