re: #200 Thanos

You might think I’m a loon for proposing nuclear freight ship propulsion upthread, but some of big freighters, like Maersk and others use, burn 1000 to 1600 gallons of Diesel per hour of travel. That’s huge carbon output, worth it because without it we send some countries into famine and stop a lot of trade, but we need to find an alternative.

The Somali pirates will no doubt think that is a great idea, but I think this is better and a hell of a lot simpler.
