Title: The return of Sails on ships.
Post by: ebattleon on February 28, 2008, 03:17:59 AM
Transport of goods globally is a necessary evil but if sails were added to the world's shipping fleets it could cut those emissions by half and thats an estimated 146 million tonnes. To place that in perspective the entire UK produces the same amount in a year.

Check out this web site it will give more information,
