And the new one, I was in South Carolina the other day. A wonderful boat builder and is very concerned. First, they’ve reduced their activity to 3 kilometers per hour, even if you’re across the ocean. Two miles per hour! I said, “How fast can they go, like 40 and 50?They tried to do two until they reached 90 miles. I said, “How far can they go?Approximately 60 miles. I said, “You mean you can speed things up but never get there?It’s 90 miles. “
I looked at those boats. They look great, but I don’t need to be 90 miles away. It’s a long road. But he said, “They need us to start thinking about moving all-electric motors for boats instead of Mercury engines. “Beautiful Mercury and other engines made in the USA, where you can smell that little smell, that lovely sound of everything. I need to go all-electric.
I said, “What’s wrong?” They said, “Well, the challenge is that the batteries are so heavy that the ship can’t carry them. They would sink. And if we did it where they can pass at least for a moderate period of time, they would be so big that they would cover the entire ship. And he said, he said, “You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question. “I said, “And what if you were on a boat that was fully equipped with batteries, with the total batteries?”Is the ship almost stocked with batteries?” You know those batteries are huge. The challenge with trucks is that they also take up a lot of space. I mean, it’s all like a drum kit.
It’s all so crazy. You think if they had a three-minute interview with American truckers, they’d notice. And in a way they perceive it, but it doesn’t matter. It’s like an open border. They perceive that open borders are useless. Never mind. We don’t see them crossing borders. They say, “Oh, we’re doing a wonderful job. “Another fifteen million people arrived. They come from prisons and psychiatric institutions.
But I asked the navigator. I said, “Let me ask you: let’s say your ship is sinking and I’m sitting on this big, sturdy battery and the ship is sinking. Will I get electrocuted? And he said, “You know what, honestly, no one ever asked me that question. “
But if I sink and this ship sinks, I have a battery and the water starts coming in, I worry. But then I look ten meters to my left and there’s a shark there. So I have the choice between electrocution or a shark. Do you know what I’m going to take? Électrocución. Me are going to be electrocuted every time. Do we agree? Yes, I’m going to be electrocuted.
But those other people are crazy. They also need to approve energy-efficient jet fuel so that we don’t have any problems.
