CTH: Folks, this story is not from The Onion or any version of sarcastic media. This is very real.
To meet the compliance standards of the Paris Climate Accords and the subsequent treaty that all EU nations agreed to, they must reduce carbon emissions in freight and transit systems. They have spent thousands of hours pouring over possible solutions and will begin the test phase next month.
Bloomberg News – At the start of next year, the Ville de Bordeaux, a 154-meter-long ship that moves aircraft components for Airbus SE, will unfurl a 500 square meter kite on journeys across the Atlantic Ocean. It will undergo six months of trials and tests before full deployment. MORE HERE
Smaller cargo ships with masts and sails will be the answer. After the virus the world’s needs will be far less than now.
Don’t laugh. This is what they will do with the unvaxxed:

That is absurd – I am speechless.
They’re all a bunch of blow-hards, no wonder they came up with this stupid idea.
I can guarantee that Russia and China will not be deploying kites on their cargo ships.
They could save more energy by attaching those sails to the Walmart mobility scooters.
Why can’t they use solar-powered trains?
Keeping in mind there’s never been a huge windmill that has fully paid for itself.
An after it’s useful life it’s an environmental nightmare.
Guaranteed it’s about huge government money for something that doesn’t function right.
What those ships need is a giant rubber band hooked to the propeller shaft. The rubber band can be kept taught by 1,000 white Christian galley “penitents” on treadmills working off their climate white privilege debt.
I had people with an engineering degree going along when I was telling a friend about my decision to replace the onboard generator in our RV with one of the new battery powered generators.
The fucking idiots were obviously able to get through school by simply regurgitating the progressive line of bullshit and have not a clue. It is halfwits like this that will make the Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse into an everyday occurrence in the future
Reminds me of the old joke:
What did communists use before candles?
Electricity.
“Why can’t they use solar-powered trains?”
I know, right? And they could ship stuff on the Intercontinental Railroaf.
If only there was a way to use the power of wind to move large ships across the ocean….
Just wait until the “sail” gets fouled and they have to sever it from the vessel. Disaster awaits.
You sure this idea idea wasnt hatched in kindergarten somewhere?
Probably Using high tension metal cable to Zap them into Oblivion during an Electrical storm.
Bloody geniuses.
that’s a big boat worthy of a nuclear reactor! wouldn’t matter which way the wind blows.
surprised they didn’t just chain the un-vaxxed to Paris
… give ’em time …
That will do wonders for the supply chain.
dunno how ‘oars’ got switched to ‘Paris’
ah, the mysteries of the web
Here is a possibility of a perfect syntheses of old and new technology: Solar Powered Kites and Sails than can convert to Star and Moonlight Power after dusk.
Mr. Mule’s big rubber band idea serves as a backup when all else fails.
Save a lot of time during typhoon season.
just hitch those ships to teams of whales.
Great employment opportunity for out-of-work swashbucklers.
