11 months agoNot something totally unexpected… but interesting to see how they regulate it. Will it be owned and operated by the state? Or will it be a “private” vessel and crew. Maybe a middle ground area?

Basically what corky said. I’m not worried about explosions… I’m more worried about accidents that cause irreparable harm to fragile ocean ecosystems
