I realise that. I’m reading that energy densities will have to be around 800wh/kg for planes to rely entirely on battery power, but there are shorter distance planes already using battery power. With how quickly solid state batteries recharge, I don’t see why planes couldn’t just stop more often. It’s a small price to pay for zero emission flights.
There are many ways in which planes can be different.
Smaller plane going shorter distance at a slower speed can also mean that there are more lines and lines avoiding big hubs. If a plane goes slower but closer to your destination, you may not mind!
The cost equation changes a lot if fuel is much cheaper.
Sigh…instead of short plane flights, just take a train.
Unfortunately, train tickets are often more expensive than plane tickets. So you pay more and it takes longer.
This sounds absolutely insane to me, which country do you live in?
Germany lol.
Ah, it appears you got Deutsche Bahned.
You’re right, so much about our world revolves around how cheaply we can put…fucking…smoke into the air. It’s maddening, but you’re right.
I don’t know if oil will get cheaper though, do you think it will?
By fuel, I was meaning electricity. Electricity is much cheaper than oil and I think will remain so.
