Is this another one of these "eco-fuels" that take about ten times the energy they store just to produce them, and no one will tell you where that energy will come from?

I mean if you can get it from actually good sources (solar, geothermal) where that type of energy is in excess then use ships powered by it to transfer it around the world is that a huge problem?

No, see if it’s not the perfect solution to literally everything then it’s just not gonna work. /s
