Wind Energy for Shipping?

For the past 20 years or so, I've been working with a small team on a project that I hope will get very big.  The idea is as simple as using Wind Energy to assist in the propulsion of ships. But of course, nothing is that easy.

With the UNFCCC conference in Paris underway, we're hoping that the time will soon be ripe to return to the use of Wind Energy to power our shipping needs.

I got involved because there are some cool Engineering challenges to solve.  But, it's not the Engineering challenges holding us back.

It's about getting the political and economic motivations right.  Windships are on the agenda in Paris.  So, let's hope we can cast off and set sail soon.
