Big polluters: One massive container ship equals 50 million cars.
That was my same argument against banning two stroke recreational vehicles in the early 00s; one round trip of one of those ships causes more pollution than every two stroke dirtbike in history, combined.
I still fell in love with my '03 CRF450, but it was the principle.
Well shoot, thanks for that. Time to save that one to mention to my tree-hugging acquaintances.
I actually thought that ships were "clean" in terms of overall pollution. Must be the PR they put out, as shippers and the raillines are always hawking how much more efficient they are than trucks. Whoops.
