CHANGE IS TURNING POINT
UNSTOPPABLE ELECTRIC SAILING
If you're an outdoor or water sports enthusiast, you've probably noticed such changes. According to NOAA's analysis of global temperatures, 2013-2021 is the hottest period since records began in 1800. The Earth has been above average in temperature for 45 consecutive years and there is a 93 percent chance that the next five years will likely see the warmest year in human history. Ocean temperatures are also rising each year, and species that have supported coastal ecology for years are disappearing, according to fishermen's reports. Coral reefs, which are extremely important to aquatic life, are also suffering from the persecution of warming and ocean acidification. Within the next five years, there is a 50 percent chance that the average global temperature will rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. And that likelihood is rising every year as time goes on. The scientific data speaks for itself: we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43 percent by 2030 to avoid the more harmful effects of warming. Achieving this goal will revolutionize the way we live. It is exciting to see the advent and progressive innovative evolution of carbon neutral navigation technologies.
Electric Boats Have Less Impact on Climate
Electric-powered boats have a significantly lower climate impact than oil-fired boats. Even when charged with electricity from coal-fired power plants, CO2 emissions are reduced by about 30 percent. When charged by renewable energy sources, the climate impact can be reduced by up to 90%. Today, concern about air pollution caused by oil-fired machines is still lacking. Fuel engines are allowed to emit much higher levels of harmful substances than those allowed in automotive diesel, and the technology for filtering pollutants is very outdated. If you drive an 80 horsepower boat for one hour, it is like driving 350 cars on the highway in the same amount of time. Because of this, air pollution is 20 times higher than accepted levels in cities where boats are the primary means of transportation. If we switch to electric power, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint, but we are also benefiting the place where we live.
