    All US aircraft carriers are nuclear powered so no more burning fossil fuels. Environment = Saved 🌱

      I remember reading about nuclear powered shipping vessels being pitched a few years ago.

        Given the state of a lot of ships, I wouldn’t want these companies using nuclear power

          Yeah, a lot of people don’t understand how little oversight there actually is when it comes to the maintenance of cargo ships, and how hard it is to enforce the bare minimum.

          Most shipping companies are untrustworthy when it comes to anything that might impact their profit margins.

        The problem is that most countries don’t have a port to accept a nuclear vessel and don’t want one in their country.
