      Planes can be appropriate, however every flight under 500 miles should be illegal.

        nah it should be an emissions per passenger mile thing and knowing the US, short-haul electric planes will be viable before we can build rail.

        also muh rural alaskan villages but i'll assume you meant like minneapolis to chicago.

          Don't need to actually build much rail to radically expand rail passenger service. Aside from that, though just take a damn bus! Buses are nice too. There will not be practical electrical planes in our lifetime. Too much energy density, and battery tech is extremely heavy.

            i've been on long-haul busses and america manages to fuck those up too. Rather fly in a pre-9/11 security environment than take greyhound at any time in history.

            the electric plane dorks are targeting short haul flights and 5 30 years from now if we're not all dead and the sulfur batteries work they'll be doing safety certs.
