This could be the best thing the current administration did for the planet. No more shipping boats. It’s going to be really interesting in the next two months.
Spoken like a rich asshole that doesn’t have to worry about 300% inflation on food
Isn’t shipping via boat one of the most energy efficient forms of goods transport we have as a species?
I went looking and found this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport
And yep transport via boat is the most energy efficient.
That said I’m going to assume that OP in this thread is not talking about logistics efficiency, but rather a downturn in a demand for goods.
Okay buy if there aren’t any boats running around, then that’s ecologically good! We’re all screwed, but ecologically good.
