Are they gonna stop weekend plane trips too, lmao...

How come commercial jets aren’t forced to comply with EpA standards ? How come United doesn’t have electric jet engines?

Dunno, you hear nightmares of EV's in the cold, well jets fly in -50f and colder for hours on end. And the weight, that's another problem I guess, you know how heavy EV batteries are, how heavy will the ones need to be to propell a jet?

^^^ I would say that is correct.

With current battery tech there is not enough room in a jet to pack in the amount of batteries it would need to fly and then the weight would not allow it to get off the ground.

Cold weather kills the range and jets are required to go from flight to flight to flight with just refueling. Can they plug one in and wait a week or more for it to charge?

What I see happening with the path we are on is jets will be killed off, for the good of the environment of course, and us peons will no longer be allowed to fly. Flying will be reserved for the elite on small private planes.
