    Seems like a really good, thorough article about electrification and decarbonizing. I think the demand is there for CCU-powered flights, we’ll just have to build more wind power so we can get there. Just a matter of infrastructure, the end cost will possibly be cheaper than flying right now.

      High speed night trains can lower the need for flying. NY LA is 3950km so an 11.3h train ride at 350km/h. When you sleep 8h of that it is better then flying. Then you only really need flights that go over a lot of water.
