Still a single person, still can’t use them all at once.
You understand that the clientele of a megayacht shipyard is very limited, right? This is a non-issue.
Let’s focus on real issues, like the move to nuclear, or finding better ways to do metallurgy than exporting all of it to the third world where health and pollution regulations don’t apply, as if it’s not the same atmosphere we’re polluting, shall we?
Luxury purchases only a handful of people can even afford is really the bottommost thing on the list, short of regulating how much you’re allowed to eat beans to reduce your methane output.
ETA: For the sake of checking my biases, I ran the numbers.
If Gabe lived every single day of a year on one of his yachts and they ran the full 1000 gallons of fuel you claim (which I am taking in good faith) this would amount to 77,850 metric tons of CO2 produced. Which is indubitably an impressive amount, until you realise that 32.8 Billion tonnes have been released in the atmosphere in 2024.
So yeah, I don’t give a toss about your weird fucking fixation.
It is a lot of CO2, it’s still not even a drop in the bucket compared to what we need to actually address, it is off by 6 orders of magnitude, get a grip, he’d have to own 5000 of the damn things and run them all year round to even add up to 1% of global pollution.
I understand you, you are a normal person so the idea of using two megayacht at the same time sounds off but that’s what billionares do. Many of them move around the whole fleet and jump from one ship to the other as it please them. The megayachts are operated by hundreds of workers.
Gonna have to ask you for a source on that.
Also, as stated, he’d have to own 5000 of them to even reach 1% of global emissions. I genuinely could not care less about this non-issue.
ETA: On the off-chance that he did indeed own 5000 megayachts, I checked: he owns 6.
That, assuming all of them run around the clock at 1000 gallons maximum consumption rate, makes his contribution to total carbon emissions ~0.001%.
Impressive for a single man, but not even close to me giving a fuck and not considering you hella weird, and probably simply envious, for caring this much.
Also there are a total of 800 megayachts in the world, so even combined and running full tilt around the clock, all megayachts combined get to ~0.16% of global emissions with your 1000 gallons of fuel figure.
So yeah, you can, in fact, stop spamming, and caring, about the megayachts.
It’s really not a big fucking deal.
