‘World’s Worst Traffic Jam’ Has 150+ #CargoShips Stuck at #PanamaCanal
The worst #drought in more than 70 years has limited the ability to adjust water levels to allow ships to pass through the vital shortcut. That shortcut sees $270B worth of cargo a year and handles about 40% of U.S. container traffic but each ship transit requires about 50M gallons of #water from #GatunLake which also supplies #PanamaCity https://www.thedrive.com/news/hundreds-of-cargo-ships-have-been-stalled-at-panama-canal-for-weeks-and-counting
#climatechange has made global #shipping a #climatecrisis

Here's Why You Don't See Many Nuclear-Powered Cargo #Ships
#Nuclear-Powered #CargoShips Are Trying to Stage a Comeback
Faced with the difficult task of #decarbonizing, some shipping companies are taking another look at a polarizing solution—#nuclearfission. #Atomic power could soon allow us to ply the #oceans soon, but there are drawbacks.
