Large ocean vessels like cargo and cruise ships are some of the biggest greenhouse gas producers on the planet, so I really hope this is a good way forward.
It's kind of funny because this is true, but if God came down and changed all logistics to trains and aircraft tomorrow our emissions would rise enormously. Shipping is extremely efficient, we just do a fuckton of it.
The article is literally laying a path forward while still using ships. The fuck are you on about?
You should re-read what you responded to. They said that sea shipping is already less polluting than other methods.
Yes, if you tried to scale them up to meet ship capacities, but even the idea of that is ludicrous. Container ships are one of the largest polluters that exist, hopefully this technology can reign that in. Their argument sounds like whataboutism to me.
Do you read anything at all before you respond to it?
Perhaps if you read my comment you'd be able to work it out
