#EnergyTransition: France experiences wind propulsion boom in 2024 https://www.offshore-energy.biz/france-experiences-wind-propulsion-boom-in-2024/

"The French wind propulsion industry witnessed strong growth in 2024. The country’s sailing fleet now comprises eleven large cargo #ships, with four new wind-powered vessels added to the fleet in 2024... What is more, a total of fifteen vessels featuring #WindPropulsion are under construction"

A ship from the past, oil on panel, 2018.

This was the culmination of years of reading about ecology, collapse, and low tech, + my experience sailing on historical ships 100 years old.

#EnergyTransition: 37 wind-powered and 11 wind-ready cargo ships in operation

"the number of #ships installed with #WindPropulsion has effectively doubled in the twelve months to April 2024... A critical mass of demonstrator ships is forming in the bulker, tanker, RoRo and general cargo segments, with developments in other ship segments accelerating, too... small fleet orders are being made, not only single #ship deployments."

RT @bound4blue: 📺The installation of the eSAIL on La Naumon has appeared at @La1_tve. As @carluspadrissa from @LaFuraDelsBaus says "We all are in the same ship. La Naumon is a metaphor for the world, and in this ship, humans have to be sailors, not passengers". #EU #shipping #windpropulsion
