Both would be the goal.....zero emissions. They have some very good
re-generative systems and nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion
batteries. The boat would have plenty of room for some huge battery
banks.

What an ignorant PUTZ! Do you have the least bit of a clue how UNGREEN the
battery manufacturing process is?

Hello Nealbur,

First thanks for your support.
Until the manufacturers can create a fuel cell that is a viable
alternative to the Li-Ion battery, it is the best technology
available. And you can recycle them.


Do you know ANYTHING about the laws of
physics that say you CAN'T possibly break even?

Who's talking about breaking even? If you have ever been sailing you
would discover about 3 out of every 4 days has good enough wind to
sail.

Do you ever use your brain
for anything other than to keep your skull from collapsing in on itself?

That's the trouble with you 'greenies.' You're so ignorant about processes.
You seem to thrive on not seeing the big picture and this justifies your
errant thinking that you can have a zero emissions anything.

uhhh, I do not consider myself a "greenie" just a sailor who wants to
usher in the next great age of sail. It is going to happen if people
outlast oil, I'm just a bit ahead of the curve.--.

Hey, Joe,
here's a clue. You can't even breathe without emitting CO2 which you
greenies now call a pollutant. How hypocritical is that, Joe? If you were
really true to your green philosophy you would stop breathing and thus do
your part to reduce CO2 emissions.

Did you know the Karkarawa indians from Galveston in the 1400's were
known for chewing tar balls from the gulf?
It helped with dental issues.


So, considering your defective thought processes, of course it's easy for
you to forget all about the adverse affects of battery manufacture,
transport and disposal or recycling because none of this fits your
pie-in-the-sky imbecility and/or your ruse of a business plan.

Did you scream at Orville and Wilbur too?


And, do you know what's even sadder than how you operate? It's the Rubes who
are willing to support your lies because it makes them "feel" good - never
mind it does no good whatsoever for the environment.

Verses letting things stay the way they are. Come on Nealbur, a zero
emission boat having to deal with safe recycling of batteries in a
controlled enviroment seems cleaner than the current state of
shipping.

The Guardian has reported on new research showing that in one year, a
single large container ship can emit cancer and asthma-causing
pollutants equivalent to that of 50 million cars. The low grade bunker
fuel used by the worlds 90,000 cargo ships contains up to 2,000 times
the amount of sulfur compared to diesel fuel used in automobiles. The
recent boom in the global trade of manufactured goods has also
resulted in a new breed of super sized container ship which consume
fuel not by the gallons, but by tons per hour, and shipping now
accounts for 90% of global trade by volume.
