Thar she be. Wind and solar powered ships. Nothing new under the sun.
Except that the radical left will protest the cutting of trees to build the ships as global warming deforestation; the fedgov will continue to ban hemp for rope; and the textile factories to weave and seam the sails are all located in India and Indo-China.
Well maybe AOC and Bernie will approve of the hemp rope... lol
Solar powered steam?
Though you have to admire the beauty and elegance of those Clipper ships. They sailed across the Pacific with ease, sailed migrants from Europe/UK to Australia, sailed from Asia to the Netherlands, and sailed from US coast to cast around Cape Horn in 100 days. Wasn’t until the Panama Canal was built that steam-ships took over because the Clippers couldn’t maneuver easily through the locks in the canal.
