Interestingly, this is the first boat fueled by alcohol since Captain Hazelwood the Exxon Valdez.

Methanol for the engines, ethanol for the passengers and crew and isopropanol for the injuries from the drunk crew.

They’ve done that in Florida for years...

It’s a meaningless gesture because the fuel economy on alcohol sucks because it’s 1/3rd less energy-dense than gasoline. So either you’re refueling more often or you’re hauling more dead weight around because of the larger fuel tank.

And what are they running the tractors on that cultivate, plant and harvest this “biomass” if not dead dinosaurs?

And it’s always a false economy to use a food product for fuel because the amount of arable land is fixed and finite. Water is near infinite but what’s available for irrigation isn’t. So you might save on fuel but it makes food more expensive in the exchange.

Turning food into fuel and burning it is a crime against humanity. Make no mistake, the diversion of food crops to creat alcohol takes food out of hungry mouths the world over.

[I want the USA back]

Burning alcohol releases CO2 and water.

And a GP4 or diesel tug will be pulling these stupid things back to port where they will sit and never be used.

Great, so now when there’s a fire onboard the flames will be invisible. What could possibly go wrong?

[dfwgator]

I’ll drink to that!
