    OK!  We got the background on the Green Hydrgen Super Yacht!  :)

    It didn't seem likely thatt a ship building company would build a monster sized boat with technology that had never been used for this type of vessel without having a buyer for it in advance.  They did, and it's none other than the Original IT Superstar, the Big Gorilla himself, Bill Gates!  Bill tries to portray an image of being an environmentally responsible Rich Fuck.

    The reason the boat was portrayed as not having an owner is because Billy Boy decided he wanted to unload it before it even got finished. He apparently has had 2nd thoughts about how Green it makes him look. lol.

    We have a Pricetag on it now also, $646 Million buckolas.  Plus a minimum 10%/year maintenance & upkeep fee.  Even for a Billionaire, this is a significant chunk of change, especially considering that Bill gave a significant portion of his moolah to his non-profit tax dodge, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, also partly financed by his Bridge Partner Warren Buffett.

    So far, nobody has stepped up to the plate to take this White Elephant off Bill's hands, and unless he can find a sucker amongst the Saudi Princes, I think he's going to have a tough time getting rid of it.   Maybe he'll have it converted to a research vessel and gve it to his non-prrofit to study micro plastics in the ocean.

    Otherwise, it's a very expensive publicity disaster for Bill.  It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. ;D
