Aloha all. Has anyone done a study of the environmental damage differential of superferry vs. air? Is the amount of fuel projected to be used and the resultant carbon emission worth the possible cost differential? Some of us might be willing to pay a bit more if we were really convinced of the environmental benefit. On the other hand, all we hear from the environmental lobby is that the superferry opens up avenues for invasive species, harms whales, and increases harbor pollution. Although I am very sympathetic to the environmental lobby, I feel that occasionally the hard core guys tend to be obstructionists who don't like anything new. Anybody on the forum have any solid info on this?
Cheers,
Jerry
