Focus on improving, not limiting. Invest in battery technology, throw billions at it and we will have carbon free air travel
- okintheory 4y agoBatteries are not really considered at realistic option for airplanes, AFAIK. The best hope is that they can use synthetic fuel, at a cost of, say, x7 the current price. Regulation could definitely help make that happen -- and those who fly a lot should have to pay for the real price of their transport.

- mqus 4y agoWe all know how much of a scam carbon offsets are atm. Realistically I think it will be at least twice that amount just for carbon taxes, never mind the additional fuel price.
