LNG may help improve local air quality by reducing particulates and sulfur and nitrogen oxides, but it's not clear that it will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and massive climate pollution produced by cruise ships.

"The major cruise lines in the Alaska market, through their trade association, have committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from ship operations by 2050."

Alaska cruise line experiments with alternative fuel | Alaska Beacon The newest cruise ship operated by Princess Cruises is the first oceangoing vessel to be refueled with liquefied natural gas, which could be the start of a new way of fueling the Alaska cruise ships that operate out of Seattle and Vancouver all summer.

A fossil energy system is incredibly inefficient, with up to 70% of energy wasted. In reality we’ll need to produce far less energy when we electrify everything.

Renewables: too costly - not reliable - worse for the environment - job killing ? Here are the facts:

Given the wholesale dismantling of climate action at the national scale in the U.S., this year NPR's Climate Solution's Week is focusing on climate solutions at the regional, state, city, and even neighborhood level.

How one Oregon city has raised a billion dollars for climate change The Portland Clean Energy Fund has raised a billion dollars for climate change action via a retail tax on large corporations in the city. Other cities are starting to shape similar funds.

There's just no good reason for Alaska Marine Lines to stop hauling EV''s.

Electric vehicles are often portrayed as a major fire risk, but the data behind this graphic comes from a 2022 analysis by AutoInsuranceEZ that examined U.S. transportation and safety records, including data from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS). The analysis found that battery electric vehicles were associated with about 25.1 fire incidents per 100,000 vehicles sold, compared with roughly 1,529.9 for gasoline and diesel vehicles, while hybrid vehicles recorded the highest rate at 3,474.5 per 100,000 vehicles sold.

Researchers and fire safety experts note that EV fires can be more difficult to extinguish because damaged battery cells may enter thermal runaway, a chain reaction that can reignite even after a fire appears to be out. However, according to the analysis, such incidents occur far less frequently than fires involving conventional internal combustion vehicles.
