Now that we have electric semi-trucks propping up all over, which is the next area for clean transport to expand into?

    I would assume that maritime would be much easier, since battery weight would be more easily dealt with, and propellers and screws can be turned by motors more or less as effectively as by engines.

    I hadn’t really thought about it, but aviation is potentially going to be a challenge. Traditional jets won’t work - they’ll need to use propellers or rotors or something like a turboprop, which means lower altitudes and slower speeds.

    Hmm…
