11. Where on earth would you put them?
Have you ever seen a large container ship?

I saw a rendering of a container ship with rigid sails that also had solar panels covering them. Wind power *and* solar at the same time.

I think that the ship you saw was the B9 Energy group's design. It can handle up to 9,000 tons of cargo and really isn't at all comparable to these large container ships (they're to be coastal cargo vessels if any of them are actually produced).
