Is Flying About To Get Cheaper?

Hey Jessimate change deniers

So I was reading this article right, yeah man I like to read, can you believe that shit? Reading in this day and age with all the podcasts and YouTube videos available, like who is this guy? Someone get him a gramophone and HAM Radio am I right?

So as you know climate change is quite a big deal, not in Japan but everywhere. The studies aren't really that compelling to read so most you read the headlines and then start going on rants. So I won't get into that today, I'm just looking at an innovation that could really help us make the world a smaller place and that's electric flight.

Travel will be doing the electric slide

Elon and his Tesla tricks have got so many people rim jobbing him about what an innovative leader he is for renewable energy use and that bum licking has got him looking at long haul air travel which is primed for disruption especially with all the carbon taxes coming in to play.

While all the headlines are on these electric planes that could travel in the upper atmosphere and shit we forget about the little guy and the local applications for the technology.

So was we rock down to electric avenue, it looks like we're going to take it higher. The future is looking like we're going to be seeing a lot more travel time when it comes to medium-range flight - a range of up to about 1,500km these days with proven results that we can now fly on an electric based aeroplane.

Think about that for a second? Fuel presents a huge cost on air travel and if it can be reduced by using renewable energy we could see crazy cheap flights coming in, especially in places in Africa where you're airport is basically a bungalow with a dirt strip next to it.

Assuming battery technology improves over the next few years who knows how epic this industry could be, how affordable travel could become and how many assholes will now be able to become instagramers and travel bloggers on a budget.

What do you think of electric air travel? Would you be keen try it out? Have you tried it out?

Have your say

Holla at me in the comments! All my commenters I will now refer to as Jessie. Jessie is a good friend of mine, but Jessies got a girl, and I want to make her mine.

So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, simply comment "I am a Jessie."

Me too! I wonder how quiet it is or if it feels different? oh and the cost, what's the cost like? Ah Can't I get one for myself

I hope to be able to enjoy that innovation at some point. Fuel is becoming more expensive and scarcer. These days in Venezuela, which has the largest reserves of oil, we have had to spend hours and hours in long lines to obtain only 20 liters of gasoline for our vehicles :(... Total chaos, @chekohler.

I hope so too, resources are becoming scarce and the prices of goods and services are all affected by the price of oil and knock on transport costs. If we can transport goods and people in a cheaper and more effective way it will really take a lot of strain off the consumer who is always fitting the bill

Wow I didn't know its that bad, we had something like that with our water crisis it was also quiet chaotic but I can't imagine what thats like for more than a few weeks

I am a Jessie....Not really lol. I love the idea of electric travel even if "assholes will now be able to become instagramers and travel bloggers on a budget." Who knows....maybe the arseholes will learn a thing or two and change there ways?

Hey @mumma-monza haven't seen you grace my comments section in a while, where you been hiding or were you just resisting the urge to be jessified? Its better you accept it than fight it I say. I'm pretty sold on electric travel if I can just you know get in my vehicle and just travel where the sun takes me. Hope it becomes a reality and well I couldn't be too bothered with the assholes since I don't really use social media lol

I live out in the country... away from all the construction and traffic.... but still can't escape plane noises... I seriously can't wait until planes are electric/solar... its going to be better for pretty much everyone!

Maybe now is a good time to buy a gross noise-polluted airport adjacent house and sit on it for a decade or two.
