The part that concerns me with these delusions of grandeur is how increasingly institutions and corporations believe these lies (once repeated enough) - and just start instituting the "technology" and policies anyway - just like we've seen Western Governments removing baseload power generation all around the world.
The technology is not sufficient to replace what got us here in the first place - but that doesn't seem to matter anymore. Prices rise and first world reliability is falling. Is the same ESG madness that's taking over the world going to apply to transport category aviation now? Hope not. Prices rising is one thing, reliability when it comes to safety is another.
