We are definitely living in a clown world. The environmental damage done to procure the minerals to make these batteries, all dug with fossil fuel equipment is mind numbing. Climate change used as a reason for ‘electric’ transportation is an insult to our senses.

I’m an engineer in this field. They’re utter morons and dishonest. Ships using diesel electric propulsion drink so much electrical power, it takes multiple Diesel engines to produce that power.

They could’ve made nuclear powered ships like the Savannah.

LOL! Thank you for reporting on the stories the legacy media cover up. Sadly, orwellian tactics are being used by many governments to gaslight and control their citizens. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but the world seems to have reached peak “wokeness,” and the pendulum is bound to reverse course as people wake up.

Would I ride an electric ferry? Hehe, so many potential puns. I'll just say that question is really a good band name. 😃

Modern allopathic medicine and "fossil fuel" can be categorized together. They are both the product of the Rockefeller science of subversion that has established its hold, not only on our society, but also on science. If the decision to call oil a “fossil fuel” was made in 1892, be assured that beyond the financial greed to impose a world price for oil, the Globalists had already long term plans for oil to play a key role in their project of world conquest, the same as when they started the take-over of the medical system more than a century ago.

Think that's insane? Our Cdn emperor, Judas Trudeau, just purchased (with our money) an electric jetliner. Ask me if I'd ever fly in it. Hahahaha....

If the greens were actually serious about swapping diesel or petrol for larger vehicles like ferrys, they'd demand coal or wood powered steam engines. Because the wood can't release more CO2 than it has tied up when the tree grew, right?

Or perhaps make wood-gas powered ferrys?

Not an engineer, just spitballing here.

No way bro. but, may be for Africa and Asia they try to build, since plenty of rivers-powered-electric-dams they try to dam as damn, chipper electric energy prices seems the prospects

Hilarious that first piece I read here is actually about my adopted country New Zealand! Because I skip the news most days I hadn’t even heard of this ferry story! Wow!!

I really do not understand why we should go for electricity cars when costs of electricity here in Germany cost nearly the double and we risk a blackout like a lot of politics foresee...
