You never hear the blinkered brexiters complain about immigrants from outside the EU which is a larger number than any EU immigration and the non-EU migrants are even less likely to speak english
"unaccountable EU bureacrats control such matters. " "third-worlders who want to leech off of the UK's social programs without contributing anything of value" - those 2 statements alone prove you don't know what you are talking about. It is all about racism for leavers who play the immigration card.
indeed. had a quick scan of the posts below, seems the same old misinformation/lies/misunderstandings rehashed by the same old people. Not even worth responding to them anymore. The blog post just seems to be Devuan fanboy report.
"furthermore the pollution is emitted at sea, where the concentration of such pollution is low. " for how long and why is "out of sight, out of mind" a good idea? Plastic is already an ocean problem and its getting onto the food chain.
"* pollution in built up areas - this doesn't do that" - it does do that, ever looked at the water quality in a harbour?
"* overall emission of greenhouse gases - the effect would be marginal" - true, if it was ever going to be one ship - think bigger
"But offshore bulk carriers - not so much." - don;t think that is the problem they are solving.
"Way better bang for the buck to work on trucks, buses and delivery vans." - already in motion
the route to a safe and clean renewable future is not an overnight one. Your expectations are too high for an overnight replacement of dirty fossil fuel power. They didn't have fossil fuel power in place overnight to supply the whole nation either when they built the first coal fired power station.
The battery creation is a one off job and its a reusable product and are you sure they don't run their battery production off renewables,even at my home i can tell the utility to only provide me with power from renewables.
The chances are each port it docks to unload will have a charger. The Orkney Islands in the UK are starting out along this route. They produce excess renewables so they use it to create hydrogen. Its early days so baby steps at the moment http://www.surfnturf.org.uk/
You can watch this and it will give you an overview of what the EV ship idea is all about (its the Orkney solution). https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Battery swaps instead of charging while unloading. The OP made the statement "Exchanging batteries maybe made in less than 1 minute, faster than recharging them (1 minute vs 2 hours)." without reading the article that it states the 2 hours charge time is approx the same time as unloading time. EV battery swaps will take a lot longer than the 1 minute unless he's talking about swapping the battery out of his torch. Large battery swaps will be a nightmare.
"However for somewhere like the UK, it's not going to happen, " - why do you think that? The UK is surrounded by sea for offshore turbines and almost every roof could have solar and storage (home and plugged in EVs) which can be linked together via microgrids.

LOL - ignorance is bliss in your case.

LOL.... google US military renewables
maybe he's going to use a coal powered boat to get it there....
[citation needed] was a request for the "facts" the AC was basing their "opinion" on.
subsidies worked well for the fossil industry and they are still getting subsidies after 100 years of market development...
"Complaining in ridiculous ways about non-issues is much more fun" - its what the children do...
its what the anti-systemd lot do "ran out of ideas a long time ago so make stuff up"
"that seems to be the founding principle behind systemd. " - that just shows you know nothing about systemd
Have you logged a bug for that?
says the AC.... no need for me to back it up, its all in the posts below, try reading.
LOL....

And if you are island hopping to deliver? Seems like their solution for a particular problem they have otherwise they'd use existing tech.

you mean it falls off the boat or the boat sinks?
