I think it would be nice if there were more boats again. We should have more boats

we’ve just killed international passenger air travel *and* cruise ships, both of which were horrible for the environment, so there’s never going to be a better time to build new sustainable options and a passenger ship isn’t *inherently* a 30 story tall fuel oil dumping machine

lot of people gonna get mad at me but nuclear-powered ships have been sailing all over the world without major incident for the last 50 years

like four days if you’re lucky

six to eight is normal now but that’s also with stopping in tourist ports instead of just booking it trying to get a blue riband

given the choice I’d rather take a leisurely week looking at the sea than trying to work out how to make one of those ultralight solar powered endurance planes carry a few hundred people

bunch of people gonna get even madder at me for this but we could also bring back airships, which have maybe 10% of the emissions of a jet already

anyway intercontinental travel is coming back because I don’t think you can unring that bell, the only question is whether we continue to do it in a way that kills all of us
