The real question is how much is the retrofitting vs the cost saved through the ship’s life.
No it isn't. That's the late stage capitalism question. The real question is does the retrofitting offset enough nonrenewable energy usage, and I'd bet the wear and tear on a ship not designed to be powered that way will blow that savings out of the water.
Too bad we live in a late-stage capitalism world, so those sorts of questions are definitely the right ones to ask.
That is the real question indeed. But most companies think late stage capitalism vs will they still have a planet to make money after their next quarter.
