  • That’s true, aircraft carriers and stealth submarines use nuclear power, but still prohibitively expensive for the shipping industry. Commercial shipping is picking up on wind with flettner rotor systems, sails and kites, it’s still only modestly decreasing fuel use but future ships could take more advantage of wind.

    Not sure what the future will look like but it could be that some type of redux flow battery and electricity could be used to power commercial ships. I’m pretty sure at some scale the redux flow system could save costs after energy prices drop.
