We have lots of moral options for traveling over land, and even some options for relatively short oceanic trips, like across the Atlantic from W. Europe to/from N. America.
What are the current possibilities for traveling from e.g. USA to Taiwan? I’m willing to entertain options that don’t have “mass market” appeal.

- currently I think options are limited to sail and electric motors
- sail will have the same issue as airships, time – not an issue in a solarpunk future, but in today’s society, it’s a refuge of the rich since they’re the only ones who can afford the time
- solar powered electric motors and hybrid sail/electric systems are seeing a big surge in interest (especially with shipping companies trying to cut costs with fuel, maintenance, and logistics)
- one of the more promising groups is Hundred Rabbits (a small artist/development collective heavily interested in the permacomputing side of things) who currently operated from of a solar-electric sailboat operating out of Vancouver (I think)
