HOW DO YOU SEE THE FUTURE OF leasure boating &fuel taxation due to climate change,from sailing

[Seastoke]

So if you can’t make a planing powerboat work with battery tech, maybe consider re thinking the hull form. Artemis already have, but it’s not the only easily driven hull form. Cat and tri power boatscare already out there, I think they’ll increase in popularity alongside battery electric drives. Clearly the gold standard for speed will be foils, but multis make a decent compromise.

There is a shortage of marina berths already , with cats that would half.

Maybe everyone should get back to the op question , this is going away from it and peeps cocks are getting longer.

Well, with no viable alternatives apart for slower short range boats, what can they do?
Ban powerboats all together? And gain what, a minute percentage of co2 reduction from pleasure boating, globally?

I can see diesels going the way if the dodo with ever more strict emission standards, complicating diesels even more and more prone to break downs until they're completely unviable.
But petrol? Petrol engines won't go away soon. Get increasingly expensive to run, yes.

All whilst the "presidents" fly around in 1 of their many 747's ????

If / when i am "FORCED" to go electric, i will just sail of my mooring when possible.

I'd be interested in what alternative transport arrangements you think "presidents" (why the inverted commas?) should take.

By train like Kim Jong Un.
Also Putin mostly travels by train as well.

Without getting into Putin's (or Kim Jong Un's) paranoia, outside of his own country Putin uses aircraft.

Kim Jong Un has his own aircraft too, but travels mostly by train - so heavy its max speed is 30kph. In terms of carbon footprint, I wouldn't think there's much in it.

And of course, trains are famously able to travel over large bodies of water.

Tumbrils. mostly.

Could probably arrange a gold plated one for particularly deserving customers.
