The future of marine engines?

[LA CrappieMaster]

I also see a move to at least lower the reliance on fossil fuels. Fossil fuel energy companies are currently getting onboard with reducing the carbon footprint, which is working to reduce emissions and capturing carbon from the atmosphere. In the south, we will need major upgrades to the grid infrastructure to even meet winter storm needs.

and that will be a good thing for all.

Well, I guess I will have to resort to oars. at least until my old arms can't pull them anymore. .

I think this is the start. I can see them harnessing the wind and sun while out to help charge the batteries or power supply. Who knows what the future holds but I think fossil fuels will be phased out.

That is the technology the Pilgrams used to het here.

With that technology I'm pretty sure I would be late for work. I sure do love smelling that two stroke smoke and hearing my diesel turbo scream for more...lol

A little more advanced than a huge mast with sails hanging off it. I could see maybe the deck being made from solar panels or little scoops that channel the wind as your moving. Who knows what technology the future holds.

Would always carry a backup gas powered generator for those days when the battery runs out.

Absolutely viable when solar panel technology improves. The two 100 watt panels I have hooked to an mppt controller would probably keep up with the 55lbs Terrova I have at 50% ouput. That will get you about 1mph with no wind or current. I neat project would be a lightweight houseboat with panels as the roof. As long as you had plenty of time to get there It would be an enjoyable trip. As a safety net I do believe you would need a generator that could be used to get you out of a bad situation should the need arise
