Escape To Alcatraz On The Hornblower Hybrid

Posted in auto/transportation, reduce/reuse/recycle, solar, tech/gadgets by thuy | Tags: , ,

The Hornblower Hybrid uses power generated by two ten-foot-tall wind turbines and a photovoltaic solar array covering the awning on the top deck. That power is converted and stored in battery banks that power the navigation tools, lighting and other electronics on board the vessel.

The HH also has Tier 2 marine diesel engines. These cleaner, fuel-efficient engines reduce the amount of diesel fuel used, emissions and overall carbon footprint.

The vessel also contains a number of other environmentally friendly materials. The carpeting contains post consumer recycled materials and is recyclable. The countertops are made from recycled vodka bottles- HOLD UP! Did I just read that correctly? RECYCLED VODKA BOTTLES? Who is the genius man behind this and where has he been all my adult drinking life?

Oh snap, ya’ll are gonna have to go to the site to read what else this modern day Love Boat is all about. You know the drill.. I got some research to do.

Google search gods don’t fail me now.. please let him be single..and tall.
