Alaska and Canada's Northern Territories cannot support a modern society without aviation. Just an example. There are times when the sea ferries are shut down because of weather and ice, but aircraft can get through to connect Newfoundland to the mainland. Just a couple of examples.
To connect Australia, New Zealand, et al, to the rest of the world, are you advocating sea travel?
When Botoxed celebs want to travel from Los Angeles to New York on a moment's notice, are they going to drive in an environmentally correct e-car? It will take 4 days.
Aviation is a good career choice for at least the next 33-38 years.
There is plenty of oil in the ground, and aviation has a voracious appetite for it, as does the world.
The world's billionaires will demand that the oil keeps flowing regardless of the protestations of the "Greenies".
