The arguments presented here are logically sound and I agree that we won't be replacing a Boeing 747 with electrical. I also agree there are a lot of companies (not just electric planes) fleecing investors for money for products they have no idea whether or not they can build but claiming they absolutely can; but taking risk is baked into the idea of investing and is why profit is justifiable for investors so I think this is a moot point.

That being said, I absolutely think we will see EV planes in short haul -- and short haul flights are a HUGE source of emissions. This is good.

Here's a link -- local seaplane company is moving it's fleet to EV planes and has been flying test flights for almost a year: https://www.harbourair.com/harbour-air-magnix-and-h55-partne...
