It seems to me that synthetic or plant-based carbon-neutral fuels are more feasible in the near-term, though I don't know what the current state of the art is.

In the long term, electric planes would be ideal if we can figure out energy storage (or perhaps wireless energy transmission).
- m4rtink 7y agoThis is ideal - if you use a C02 neutral power source & use atmospheric CO2 (either directly or via plants) you are effectively making planes flow battery powered. With the flow battery using synthetic fuel you produce & atmospheric oxygen to produce energy & CO2. Which will then get captured again by your synthetic fuel factory. Win win. :)
