This is really great. Wendover Productions made an excellent video about electrification of flights a while ago.
Now the real question is: will world governments allow this Chinese technology into their countries? Protectionism is a ~~valid~~ *public reason to deny it, but I wonder if denying Chinese tech under the guise of national security a last ditch attempt from big oil lobbyists?
Or is that too far fetched and I'm just way to cynical.
No it isn't. Protectionism is jingoist bullshit. Always has been, always will be.
Definitely. The leadership of both major US parties are pretty much owned by the fossil fuel industries.
Even progressives advocating for the Green New Deal won't say the part about gradually eliminating fossil fuel use out loud out of fear of fossil fuel industry lobbyists and the politicians they own doing an AIPAC.
Not at all.
Sorry, I think I chose the wrong word, I mean Public i.e., not conspiratorial.
