For those who don’t watch YouTube or videos.

I’m imagining battery fire on a ferry.

50 yards is potentially a long way to swim. If you manage to get to the water.

I must be missing something. That waterway looks so narrow that the ferry could be a cable ferry with diesel or electric motors on both shorelines to pull the cables back and forth.

Cable ferries have been in use in many other places for decades.

That was great! Thanks for posting.

For those who either read German or whose browser offers a translation:

Millionen-Debakel an der Ostsee: Solarfähre schafft es nicht ans andere Ufer – Anwohner empört Merkur, Stand:06.10.2024.

Title in English is: "Million-dollar debacle on the Baltic Sea: Solar ferry doesn't make it to the other shore - residents outraged."

German-language press is reporting this across Germany and Austria, ridiculing the political decisions.

About that diesel ferry

How Schleswig-Holstein sold their reliable diesel ferry for a song, spent 3.3 million Euro for a new emissions-free solar ferry that doesn't work, & increased carbon emissions on top of it all

10 or 15 years ago when Germany was preening itself on being green, I ran across articles detailing the pollution caused by mining the necessary metals...

So ironic and hypocritical.

Is the power cord long enough to reach across the river?

All the citizens should be allowed one free kick to the donkeys of the bureaucrats who did this…..on tv.
