    They need to also add the Water World thing that Kevin Costner used where a harpoon shot in the air and made a cool kite to get away from pirates.

      Because less then 20% of the global primary energy consumption comes from low carbon sources. So if we cut off all fossil fuels we have as much energy available as the average person in Cambodia or Mauretania today. So we have to develop and deploy green technologies on scale to keep a decent quality of life for everybody. Transporting food to countries that can not grow enough of their own, like for example Egypt, is going to be necessary. For that these types of ships are a good start.

      If you look at the list of large sail boats, you’ll notice they are smaller than the Pyxis Ocean, and even most of those are “sail assist”. ie: They’re steam or motor boats with sails as an extra thing. The aim of modern “sail” and “wind powered” boats is to go much larger than sailboats.
