   No, they’re really not.

   Turns out, sail-power scales sublinearly and, shocker, the wind isn’t a reliable source of power for the logistics demands of today’s supply chains.

   We’re never going back to wind, but we will be de-carbonizing shipping either with ammonia combustion, fuel cells, or both.

      I think it’s clear that they are not turning back to use them exclusively, but clearly are ‘turning back’ in an additive way.

      Eg putting these things on ammonia powered vessel will reduce the amount of fuel needed, which is probably a net benefit.
