SInce we're talking climate change I think we should bring back airships for short-haul flights. The fact it floats with little effort means less fuel is needed.

yeah, this is like Musk trying to solve traffic with underground tunnels. The solution has been in front of our eyes this whole time; trains. Cheap, easy to build and maintain, efficient, easy to electrify... and in europe we also proved just how far you can go with railways. There's one under the channel, and 60 odd kms of underground railway tunnel under the Gotthard pass.

On a continental level, there really isn't anything stopping us
