[image] MackDaddy1: We should just go back to Sailing Merchant Vessels lol! And built of wood, with bark sails?? Wait a minute, that means cutting down trees, which absorbs CO2, which cause global warming. You Can’t Win!!!

[image] ombugge: You Can’t Win!!! True but you made it clear: zero emissions is unreal… What we need is a better balance. Making energy cleaner step by step by carefully egineered means. …It seems not so easy.

The un-natural release of carbon locked up for 60-250 million years is throwing off the balance of heat trapping CO2 in our atmosphere…

Yep, as for coastal services it 'll be the future for sure. Talking of intercontinental container shipping… not at all. Fact is we now can rely only on the triad of electric-hydrogen-wind. Not a jack of all trades, for sure… Tell me a moron but I’m waiting for the cleaner bang of all: nuclear fu…

It didn’t say how much energy went into the magnetic field containing the reaction.

A lot for sure. Again, I say actually no other source of energy keeps a promise of a cleaner world. It’ll take a time, maybe a lot of and scaling down to daily processes would be a nightmare.
