    Electric boats sound like a good idea to me couldn’t wind, solar and tidal power all be combined. Making me wonder why supertankers, cargoships etc can’t be doing some of that.

      The issue is energy density. There’s a reason why boat tanks are ~6 times larger than a cars gas tank. That’s why they’re so expensive (plus batteries are much heavier).
