Port of San Diego now plugging-in TWO cruise ships in at a time. Meanwhile, Port of NY & NJ can't even do ONE! It's embarrassing how far behind NY/NJ/NYC ports are in ship pollution reduction compared to their West Coast counterparts. #shorepower https://safety4sea.com/port-of-san-diego-two-cruise-ships-to-plug-in-shore-power-for-first-time/

From the Gowanus Expressway, the Queen Mary 2 towering over #RedHook today. Ship was clearly blowing smoke out of its funnel, not connected to #shorepower, so spewing dangerous PM2.5 CO2 SOx & NOx into the Brooklyn air. How long will this be allowed to continue? #health #climate

One difference between Rotterdam & NYC using cruise ships as emergency housing in the future. Rotterdam is investing in #shorepower so ships will no longer idle 24/7, burning dirty diesel at berth & polluting port-side neighborhoods. NYC, not so much. https://www.curbed.com/2022/11/rotterdam-ukrainian-refugees-cruise-ship-holland-america.html
