Yep, it would be fun to perform a study of the embodied energy in that boat. All the heat required to cast aluminum parts, energy required to dig raw materials out of the earth, transform them, transport them to an assembly site, etc.
And don't forget about the boat's death! How long does it take all these high-tech composite materials to return to their "natural" state? (Hint - Mankind doesn't yet know how long a fiberglass hull lasts.)
Money is really data about energy use. What anything costs is proportional to the energy consumed and pollution generated in creating it. Spending money is the same thing as consuming energy. It's also why the socialist practice of pricing expensive things below the cost of energy to provide them results in a financial short circuit that ends in an economic meltdown. It's why socialism can't work.
Factoring in that time is money, airline travel is the most energy efficient mode of people transport ever invented. A Dreamliner can fly a human to the other side of the planet at 560 mph for $150. The rest of the ticket price goes towards taxes and fees, proving the obvious that government is extremely energy inefficient. Big government has the largest carbon footprint of all with the least to show for it. The most efficient way to fight pollution is to fight for smaller government.
