A large cruise ship can burn up to 250 tons of fuel, or roughly 80,000 gallons, per day. Thanks to @heyjohnryan.bsky.social for a great story. https://www.kuow.org/environment/2026-10-14/despite-efforts-northwest-cruise-ships-collide-with-whales-climate22 Oct 2026 22:37 +0000at://did:plc:o7fcxuwu4mkjpq477p7j2bgt/app.bsky.feed.post/3myiq2pfb622w
