First Mate: Crew, I've got good news and bad news.
First the good news: you have two hours off to rest.
Now the bad news; after the rest, the captain wants to go water skiing.

the super-ships that keep the West in everything from Christmas gifts to computers
Note to Fred, those superships are also keeping the
EAST in hard cash, don’t forget that.

Bunker fuel is nasty. Burning it produces prodigious quantities of H2S, which is deadly at levels below 100 PPM.
Requiring shipping companies to use cleaner fuels such as diesel or LNG, all of a sudden the costs to ship goods from China to the US helps level the playing field without tariffs. Win - win.
Let the Enviros help us for a change!

16 of the worlds largest ships can produce as much lung-clogging sulphur pollution as all the worlds cars. So at least we can agree to eliminate all the regulations on cars.

What should we do about the filthy, dirty gasses that the volcano in Hawaii is spewing out?

--agree---the "54 tankers" were supposedly anchored off New York, Houston, New Orleans, California, etc., etc., when I first heard the tale at the time of the original oil embargo--
--I am sort of curious as to what portion of the world's annual "pollution" the Hawiian volcano has spewed forth---

When I was in the USN, I spent a week or so on the USS Lexington out of Pensacola...she was on her last legs as a training ship, so she was in pretty lousy shape.
It was damned awful. Bunker fuel fumes inundated the compartment I was sleeping in...I could taste it, it made me nauseous, the food tasted like bunker fuel...I couldn’t sleep. Ever try to sleep when you are really sick with a bad fever, and the best you can get is a subdued wakefulness? It was like that.
It was as if the tanks were venting directly into the compartment I was in.
Ugh. I was never so happy to get off a ship as I as I was to get off the Lexington. It wasn’t the crew’s fault, this was the late Seventies and I guess they just didn’t have enough money to keep her maintained well.

You know, this would make a great ad campaign for what it was like under the Obama-Bush years.
Shut up and ROW!

I wonder if this is the stuff that was in a huge tank behind my house next to the railroad when I was growing up in the 1950’s. It was for the steam engines before diesels in Oregon.

make things unavailable? Now this is funny. The world is so messed up with this "free trade" globalist BS average people, like you I guess, cannot imagine that durable goods can(and I would argue should) be made IN THE USA.
