Cargo ships are even worse. The amount they pollute is staggering to such a degree that I’m glad trade between the USA and China is strained.
At least they’re doing something. Rampant consumerism aside they’re shipping physical goods in the most efficient way we have available to us. AI though? What the hell is it even doing? It ain’t being helpful that’s for sure, and that’s not even the goal of it, either, so instead of it being “teething problems” is just the usual bullshit of capitalists hurting everyone else over their latest obssession.
You could me cruise ships
Cargo ships are getting way more efficient and less polluting. I work on container ships which have a capacity ranging from 14k to 20k teu.
Imagine transporting these many containers from 1 continent to another via trucks. The amount of pollution they would be emitting on land.
There are strict regulations in place regarding emission. Now with the introduction of dual-fuel ships, they are going to be more environmental friendly.
It’s a concept of the past that cargo ships are pollution factories.
I didn’t quite understand the abbreviation “teu”, so I searched for it, and it seems it means “twenty-foot equivalent unit”, for anyone interested.
Genuinely glad to hear they’re improving.
Yes my friend.
Also in recent years, huge push for renewable energy from EU, China, India etc. is a step in right direction. It may take time for the world to consume less coal and petroleum, but in the meantime production from renewable source will only increase.
Long way to go, but we are on right path. Maybe our children’s get to see a good future.
