    This is what killed nuclear cargo ships in the past. Ports just don’t want such things coming in all the time.

      We are burning and drowning so I hope here is enough of a desire to make it happen this time.

      Militaries have a stellar record of not melting down their ships (fact check me someone I havent looked this up) with barely trained 18 year olds, so until we have a renewable energy storage that can power a cargo vessel around the world without taking up too much mass, this might be the best option.

      I hear sails are coming back too though.
