    Sails and kites on cargo ships is a cool idea. But why not electric?

    • Cars can be electric
    • Rockets, tough, but they could be (hydrogen from electrolysis of water)
    • planes, so far - batteries seem to heavy, but maybe one day
    • trains, electric
    • boats, I’m sure the cargo will be reduced - but just get more boats.

    Tax oil/gas/plastic at a tiny tiny amount (0.0001%) per unit, and increase it every quarter (maybe even in line with global co2 production, or global temps, if you want some people to feel what the earth is feeling)

    This gives business time to de-hydrocarbon, and as stated above - there are already non hydrocarbon solutions
