  Transoceanic pipe cargo lines could be nice. Vacuuming cargo out, pushing in. Like trains, except with no life support concerns.

    Someone is dropping pennies in the vacuum tubes again! Now the whole thing is jammed and we’ve got cargo backed up all the way to Guam!!

    And yes Bob, we all know it was you!

  Ah yeah, I failed to consider that, but it’s at least an even longer route by sea. 😅

  • Cocodapuf@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Longer than what? By plane?

    Not not but much…

    • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Than by anything.

      • Cocodapuf@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        By sea is an extremely direct route, and by land isn’t an option, so yeah, the only comparison left is by air. And shipping by air is less efficient in all respects except time.

        So saying this route is especially inefficient by sea is just a confusing statement.

  Shipping via sea is the cheapest and least greenhouse gas producing way to ship things.

  AFAIK all ships still run on fuel. Esecially the huge ones.

  While a lot of emmissions are “hidden” in the infrastructure, ships still have infrastructure: the ports and terminals weren’t always there like the sea. Less infrastructures than other modes to be sure, but certainly not “free”.

    Well there’s a clear thing you need to do now: go figure out the proportion of greenhouse gasses for a given shipped item caused by shipping. Someone has done the research, seems like you ought to find it.
