Unrelated (I hope), what about electric or hydrogen ships to travel to the US? More realistic than non-fossil planes in the short term? Obviously I'm imagining a world where we have lots of leisure time because luxury communism.

I think the only thing that could get me onto a cruise ship is if it was nuclear powered

retro future fallout/bioshock styling would also help

Nuclear merchant navy is a great idea. Nuclear cruise liners pretty good too. Nuclear zeppelins probably bad, unless we get fusion down well enough that they could replenish their own helium.

For miles and miles the pods stretched out to the horizon, each black egg containing a human worker. Architecture was forgotten, concepts such as an interior or outside had just been replaced by the immediate interface of logos or nothingness. Waking from chemical sleep, the people logged onto the Artificial Britain dreamt by a lost AI beneath what was London. As they virtually commuted into work the avatars of England wondered if that was all there was, all there had been or could be. But the last of the millenials remembered. There was hope, whispered now and then between those that wanted to break the system, its meaning lost in the currents of time yet still seemed vital, important, maybe even a way out of the nightmare. "Skills wallets."

Nuclear merchant navy would also be something that the US is already well equipped to do given that they already produce ship sized nuclear reactors. As presumably do some other countries.

Do cruisers count? I’m sure there’s somewhere with those.

About 208 before tax? I think, assuming it's 80% of what you would be getting. Although I'm terrible at maths so other posters feel free to correct me on that - I know we have some number sorcerers ITT

It's joint second favourite along with George (both at 8/1).

But since 'Wilfred' has been slashed to 2/1 and is getting something like 1/4 of all bets, it seems like something might have leaked...
