Green Ferry Fail
In Germany, a ferry is required to cross an inlet of the Baltic Sea called the Schlei. The diesel-powered Missunde II did the job fine. Then bureaucrats decided to save the planet by replacing her with the solar-powered Missunde III:
Missunde III’s glorious solar roof acted like a great sail in the face of those stiff northern winds. Her small electric motors had trouble overcoming the force, such that she took twice as long to cross the Schlei against the wind as her drab and dirty older sister. The Missunde III’s greater weight also placed too much strain on her guidance cables, and she had trouble mooring at the dock.
Trying to get the electric ferry to work entailed environmental damage in a nature preserve.
All the while, the automobiles that normally would’ve ridden the ferry across the Schlei had to take lengthy detours approaching 30 kilometres to the nearest bridge.
This of course produced more harmless but politically incorrect carbon emissions.
In March, after months of no ferry and pointless 30km detours, the mayor of Brodersby-Goltoft, Joschka Buhmann, had had enough. He demanded that authorities recommission the outmoded Missunde II and resume ferry service.
However, since having been sold, Missunde II had been left to rot away, and would require €1.8 million in renovations to make seaworthy again.
But they still couldn’t get Missunde III to work, so…
…the Office for Coastal Protection finally went limping back to the not-so-dim buyer who purchased the Missunde II for 17,000 Euros, and struck a deal to buy it back from him for 100,000 Euros. The Missunde II has been given a new permit to sail until 2028, because nobody believes that the hyper-advanced super-silent Missunde III will be up to the simple task of ferrying automobiles across 100 metres of water anytime soon.
Thus concludes another lesson in green posturing.
