Especially when you consider the other less expensive alternatives that have a far greater impact. Solar panels are sexy, but usually aren't that functional. Especially on a vessel that uses 100's of megawatts of power daily.

I'd like to know how SkySails is doing. That technology seems way more promising as an actual efficiency improver: <a href="http://www.skysails.info" rel="nofollow">www.skysails.info</a> Seems like a good idea, but maybe kinda trivial in the grand scheme of things no?
