15 ships producing as much emission as all the cars in the world? Come on, recognize the fake news. It’s so obvious. If this were true it would cost millions per minute in fuel to keep just one of these ships running. Maybe there is an emission of a special pollutant from dirty crude shipping fuel that matches the emissions of the same pollutant by millions of much cleaner cars. But the notion that this is about CO2 emissions is utter nonsense.
Indeed, ship transport is actually the most energy-efficient way to move goods on Earth. Even more efficient than rail. More than an order of magnitude more than trucks. I estimated a while back that shipping Teslas from Pier 80, all the way down the coast, across the Panama Canal, across the Atlantic, to Zeebrugge - should take about the same amount of energy as shipping them from Zeebrugge to delivery centres across Europe by truck.
That's exactly my point. There are flavors to this topic and pushing Tesla into it is unnecessary.
