Driver

The Queen Mary maybe but not the QM2. She's powered by 4 propellers ( pulling rather than pushing) which are driven by pods which are electric. Each one weighs approx the same as a 747. Her 2 gas turbines provide the internal power requirements hence the minimal 'smoke' from the funnel.

But it's most definately not coal!
