The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

The shipping industry has been trying to cut its carbon emissions for years, and with little to show for it. Shipping uses over 300 million tonnes of fossil fuels every year, producing 3 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union plans to begin charging shippers for carbon emissions this year.
