I do, however, have one concern about liquefied natural gas: it is a GIGANTIC explosion hazard. My concern is that if the LNG tank on a commercial ship experiences a major leak, you'll have a massive release into a cloud of natural gas that one spark will ignite--and the resulting explosion would have an explosive force measured in the tens of tons of TNT, enough to possibly blow a show to literal smithereens.

“gas contains more energy than bunker fuel.”

That doesn’t sound right.

U.S. Flag merchant ships are converting to LNG (at least one on the Great Lakes) and several ships coming out of the ship yards will be fueled by LNG.

And of course at least some of the ships that carry LNG are fueled by LNG.

Some congress critter will propose the increase of taxation on these “cheaper” goods.

Thanks for another in a long line of informative energy posts, thackney !

Having said that, allow me to be the first to offer an unsubstantiated opinion re the following:

According to studies cited by the watchdog group Transport & Environment, air pollution from shipping causes 50,000 deaths in Europe alone every year.
