How come that environmental impact isn’t even mentioned in a 2023 piece on personal flying?
- anjel 3y agoSuch as? It's electric so power grid demand or treetop towing is all can think of?
- Hackbraten 3y agoDefying gravity consumes orders of magnitude more energy than ground-based transportation, which means you need much more batteries per person transported. Producing batteries has a horrible environmental footprint. Producing them just for the luxury of personal flying is beyond irresponsible. Even assuming that my arguments may be flawed or entirely wrong, I still can't believe how an article about private flying doesn't afford a single paragraph to even stop and think about the impact. Such a mindset is what keeps climate change going and going.
