    Dream bigger! Amazon already has last mile distribution hubs set up every major city. It’s absolutely feasible to run electric rail to major last mile distribution hubs.

    We used to build things very fast in the 1900s in the US. Nowadays not so much.

    On the semi trucks we would need a different solution, either push new battery tech pretty hard or swap to hydrogen. Harder for sure.

    Some ships are already starting to move back to wind sail systems that can increase efficiency by 30%. It’s actually really effective.

    I think we are phenomenal engineers here on earth, we just happen to put all that energy into bombs, targeting systems, etc. We can achieve and do a lot, we’re just focused on the wrong thing.
