Energy density is never the deciding factor, except 1. On nuclear submarines, 2. On spacecraft.

- joshstrange 3y agoI think battery vs fuel (oil) begs to differ. Until we can run a 747 on a battery it’s absolutely the deciding factor. I have every hope we are able to do that one day, I’m just saying that energy density is a deciding factor.
- geysersam 3y agoSure, but we're talking about the energy density of uranium. Nuclear powered airplanes are both technically infeasible and an extremely bad idea from a safety perspective.
