Hydrogen is clean electrolysis too. Would cost less.

All that matters is if it’s cleaner. Stop ruling out options because they’re not market friendly.

Yep. And I’m a big supporter. We should use the cleanest methods available as appropriate for each application.

The problem is that we don’t yet have a practical alternative to jet fuel, except high speed rail and Zoom. The technologies are all too young.
And it’s not just cost, it’s trying to make them useful enough. Batteries will not take you across a continent, for any cost.
We’re more at the stage of “fuck the cost. Give me another option to try”
