International overseas shipping is actually pretty carbon efficient as transport goes.

Hell they're actually pretty down for efficiency improvements in shipping, to the point where people are just straight up talking about bringing back sails because... Well, why not? It's free energy.

It's not necessary but you compare this to crypto or deliberately inefficient vehicle design and it's just not something to get upset about.
