Wind power can help solve the shipping industry’s carbon woes, as demonstrated by the new Seawing sail from the French firm Airseas.
The shipping giant K Line has high expectations for wind power and the fuel efficient cargo ship of the future.
Wind power might not be the cure-all for shipping industry emissions, but Airsail is talking an average 20% cut in fuel with just two days for installation of its new Sailwing all-automatic parafoil.
What a month this has been for electric mobility. Electric vehicles (EV) are racing everywhere from Formula E to now Extreme E, and air racing now welcomes Air Race E, which has Airbus throwing its weight into the fold. Can anything stop EVs? Why are so many people still resistant to EVs?
