   If the world is supplied with 100% renewable energy, 50% of the global shipping traffic will be eliminated, coal oil and gas no longer needs to be transported

     @gcvsa @Zimme83 @hart You should really, REALLY inform yourself before being so brazenly and confidently wrong.

     @Zimme83 @hart There's always one doofus who shows up with a tall ship. You do realize that there are no sailboats currently operating in the international oceangoing shipping trade, right? You do realize that even if we were to go hog wild building sailboats, they could in no wise carry the tonnage that the global market currently depends upon, right?

     @hart "If we switched to renewable energy", the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by approximately 100%, because ships don't cross the ocean on renewable energy.

     @gcvsa @kludgekml @hart
     My dude, the technology already exists *and is in use* in contrast to your belief, so do ships that run on a mix of wind, electricity and renewable fluids for classical motors when the wind is too low even for those modern sails. It's just not wanted for economical reasons.

     @kludgekml @hart It's not hard to find an anachronism, either.

     You do realize that there are no sailboats currently operating in the international oceangoing shipping trade, right? You do realize that even if we were to go hog wild building sailboats, they could in no wise carry the tonnage that the global market currently depends upon, right?

     It's not the 18th Century, anymore, sirrah.

     @gcvsa @hart not hard to find a climate denier, but amazing to discover an East India company denier.
