  • They want to charge up the ferries? Now that may be interesting, ships engines are quite big and powerful. The battery will reduce the load capacity significantly and charging in an hour or less? Should be good fun and they can use only French electricity as we don't have enough already. Now lets design a ferry with several windmills on the top, or perhaps sails, even better. That saves huge capital cost and fuel. What could be wrong with this piece of GREEN virtue signalling?
