incidentally, I started a bid to attract orcas to cape breton
Nice. Will you be outfitting them with pointed steel battering rams that they can grasp with their mouths?
I mean, let’s be kind to the Parasite Class, and shorten the terror they experience before they meet their watery deaths.
Smith says attracting superyachts is a small part of a broader strategy aimed at getting more boaters to come to the region. And he challenged the argument that superyacht owners represent the worst kind of polluters.
“I don’t agree with that,” said Smith, whose non-profit organization gets most of its budget from a levy charged to those who pay for accommodations in Cape Breton, as well the provincial and federal governments. “There are electric superyachts now. I think we’re going to see a transformation in them in terms of cleaner fuels and cleaner ways of operating.”
But where does power generation come from in Nova Scotia?
Let alone the vast amount of resources that go into producing and maintaining a superyacht. There’s more to something’s environmental footprint than its fuel source.
Not to mention the absolute dearth of actual electric super yachts. It’s an industry pipe dream
Hydro and wind.
From the Government of Canada’s website: 74% of Nova Scotia’s power is generated by Coal and Gas
So build a wind powered superyacht. Oh wait, they’ve done that for thousands of years!
Tell me you know nothing about NS in 3 words or less:
Ideally it would but like the other commenter said that’s not even a quarter of it.
