With moonbats at the helm, the future of shipping cargo will look a lot like the past. Via CNN Climate:

A 100% wind-powered cargo ship that can dramatically cut transatlantic shipping times and carbon emissions, according to its operator, could launch in early 2027.

It is unlikely that reverting to pre-20th century technology would reduce shipping times. But the point is the allegedly harmful carbon emissions.

French company Vela will run a service between France and the US with its custom-made seacraft. …

A life cycle assessment, conducted by Vela and climate consultancy group Carbone 4, calculated carbon emissions from the North Atlantic crossing would be up to 96% less than a conventional container ship, and up to 99% less than air freight.

Because sailboats make less noise than modern boats that use motors, they could “also be less disturbing to wildlife,” which moonbats care about unless you are talking about whale-killing offshore wind turbines.

Giant kites have also been proposed; K Line’s Seawing is a 10,764-square-foot (1,000-square meter) kite that could cut cargo ships’ carbon emissions by an average of 20%, says the company.

The International Maritime Organization agreed in 2023 to reach net-zero emissions by approximately 2050. Hopefully the global warming hoax will be behind us by then, or shipping could be set back by well over a century, thereby reducing our standard of living.

Coming soon: the future of trucking, featuring horse-drawn carts.
