It’s another case of life imitating Waterworld.

Ships were powered by slaves for centuries, and those days could be returning!
To you oars! Row! Row! Row! -

More seriously : in the 70’s Cousteau invented the Turbosail, which was said to be installed on all cargo’s due to fuel economy. Ir was not.
Well, maybe with a 100 bucks a barrel, the ship companies will have a look at it. -

I saw something once in Alaska where this fisherman used a sail like that but smaller and not in the sky but in the river, to harness the current. I guess it works very nicely.

Looks interesting. But the sail probably will be expensive too, no?
christophe: yes, there’s a future in the rowing slave market!!

I see some great opportunities for advertising, too.

Looks like it acts like a spinnaker. I could fly that chute. =P
