what on earth does that have to do with it??
Batteries, you know, tend to catch fire even in normal operation if you're not very careful. And now we're going to replace all the jet fuel with batteries.

Maybe they'll take the 787 approach and build a huge fire-resistant box around them. Of course, then they'll need more batteries so they can life that weight off the ground.
