Having worked in the industry, and dabbled with electric planes.

Good luck with that. Sure, looks great on paper. Part of your range in any aircraft is weight loss from fuel burn. Two. Unless physics change, there are no batteries I know of that lose weight as they run. Three. unless physics change batteries will never have the same energy density available in liquid fuels. Three... Unless physics change Batteries will not operate in the huge temperature differences in flight. The weight to produce the same thrust or prop HP from an electric motor is massive. An aircraft only makes money if it is in the air. Sure some rich person may be able to fly this back and forth to an airport but seeing how they will not have heaters or air conditioners a car will be more comfortable.

Everything running this is a tax write off or a tax subsidy.

“ Everything running this is a tax write off or a tax subsidy.”

That describes all the crap spawned by the climate change hysteria. From university professors and their PhD candidate students to windmills to solar panels to CAFE standards to batteries to tens of thousands jetting to attend a thousand bogus conferences to shutting down agriculture to the fashion to eat bugs. The breadth and scope of the “climate industry” is truly staggering. It must reduce global output for real goods and services by $500 billion to $1 trillion per year. Just think if we weren’t pissing away all that money on pure horse crap.
