Electric boats seem like a great idea, especially with all the pollution the really large cruise ships put out. I’m happy to finally see this become mainstream. On the water there’s nothing to really get in the way of solar panels, either, so it makes sense to have them for charging.

There should be no superyachts no matter what powertrain

I disagree, but I also don’t have a problem with people or companies being wealthy enough to make or own them, either.

See communist China for a primer on why it's not a great idea to discourage success.

They literally have the world's biggest economy and the second most amount of billionaires on the planet behind the US. I don't think monetary success is being discouraged over there like you think it is.

They aren't all that communist anymore.
