The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

The group has shortlisted three designs and plan to have picked one by the end of 2024. This artist’s conception, which is not based on any specific design for a cargo ship, is intended to show the approximate scale of such a vessel. Alexander Piragis/Alamy Batteries are an obvious nonstarter, Emblemsvåg adds.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs have lower repair and maintenance costs than conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. [ ] Electric drivetrains provide higher reliability and lower costs because they have fewer moving parts and do not require frequent lubrication oil and brake component changes. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [
