They also use the fuel we can't use elsewhere and many do in fact use wind power in the form of giant kites when the wind is appropriate.

Use fuel we can't use elsewhere? They use this refuse fuel because countries literally have laws banning their use within their maritime boundaries, because they're just that awful to burn. This shit fuel is used in international waters precisely because there are no international laws banning this.

Many use kites? The ship with the kites were a proof of concept, not a widely adopted maritime practice.

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
