No sails, so what does it run on?
steam ? some kind of biofuel? nuclear?
It´s better than airplane transport but what are you getting at? :-?

I bet that boat's a hell of a lot more efficient than most cars!

At last we got T-Bone for an intelligent response :-)
I also think that boat is a hell of a lot more efficient than most cars (especially American ones), BUT... it still consumes a hell of a lot more energy than can produced by any durable energy resource methinks, plus, except from biogas, all durable energy resources deliver electricity and I can't imagine any electricity-driven motor that is powerfull enough for such a ship.

hum, no, he only mentioned lungs
dunno what happens if this NOx gets in your blood via your skin or so...

(it's hard or even impossible to predict what happens to human and nature when you put unnatural amounts of a certain substance in the environment)
