Oh well; time to go nuclear.
If there’s anything to the “hydrocarbons harming the environment” story, it’s probably the huge emissions from transport-category aircraft in the high troposphere/low stratosphere.
I’m more concerned about the raw sewage cruise ships dump in the ocean.
This is total nonsense. A MILLION cars? PREPOSTEROUS!
These people have no common sense and no concept of logic.
1,000,000 cars bumper to bumper would stretch 2,500 miles.
Parked bumper to bumper and side to side, they would occupy 3 1/4 Square MILES.
I’ll stand on the deck of a cruise ship (I have many times) and you go stand in the center of 1,000,000 parked running cars (3 1/4 Square MILES of them) and let us see how long each of us survives the pollution. Remember, it should be the same according to “scientists”.
January 1, 2015, N6 oil essentially was banned on Great Lakes shipping. I believe three or four iron ore carriers have been fitted with scrubbers. Many others saw their steam turbines replaced by diesel engines.
The price difference is $1/gallon.
Consider a 1,000 foot ore carrier running from Two Harbors, MN to Gary IN. 75,000 gallons of fuel consumed every 5 and a half days. The boats make 40 trips a year.
That’s quite a hickey...
Oh, I am going to feel ultra guilty come September, cruising the Caribbean. But I’m sure I’ll get over it.
