    Not for trains, no. But for planes or space rockets it’s relevant.

      Personally I think the solution for planes is the one noone wants to hear :( We just need to fly a LOT fewer planes. Electric for short flights possibly but even then with the charging time the uptime on those is pretty bad compared to burning carbon and probably always will be. So… more electric trains? Pretty please?

        I mean, I don’t disagree, but hydrogen planes are still a theoretical possibility.

        I agree we need to fly less, but we won’t be able to eliminate it, so I think it’s one of the tools we’ll need in our toolbox
