On Friday morning, West Coast port officials told CNN about a startling sight: Not a single cargo vessel had left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in the past 12 hours. That hasn’t happened since the pandemic.
You probably have several products in your home delivered by a fleet of nuclear powered ships. Currently, the only tech capable of solving our energy needs is nuclear. And the new reactors are safer than the ones that come to mind with melt downs.

Not by choice though.
I only buy local, from Europe where I live, or used.

Currently, the only tech capable of solving our energy needs is using less energy.
And the new reactors are safer than the ones that come to mind with melt downs.
And container ships aren’t known for being in line with current safety standards in anything.
They’re operated out of whatever island has the lowest taxes and least regulations, built by the lowest bidder and often crewed by people who don’t share a commmon language.
Thousands of nuclear powered ships manned by the whomever agrees to the lowest wage. This while ignoring the alternative fuels various vessels are switching to.
They are the most efficient way of transporting goods on land. Using huge cargo ships si still the most efficient way, once the distance is far enough and the volume high enough.
Container ships are the most economical and least polluting way to ship goods per ton
Doesn’t mean it’s still okay for the environment. Those ships need to be transitioned to nuclear.
Holy fuck no!

Nobody was arguing it was.
Your second sentence I agree tho.
So you are saying container ships do not cause massive pollution?
No, they are saying that any other way to transport those goods would cause more pollution.
So you are saying that by NOT transporting these goods whatsoever, the environment is harmed more?
You need to learn how to read.
Don’t worry, Trump’s got you covered…
I thought trains were the most efficient way to ship goods, though I’ll concede that trains are notoriously bad at crossing oceans.

Wikipedia entry claims shipping is the most environmentally efficient transport method.
Not confirmed. Crossed the ocean on a train in Japan
They still are one of the major contributers to climate change and global pollution. Less shipping is always better.
