A few years ago when people were discussing the possibility of
electric-powered flight, you'd get hacked on pretty hard for
suggesting such a thing would be practical or possible in our
lifetime. Obviously if you knew anything about physics or electrical
engineering, why, you'd know it was totally impossible.



Clarke was one fine bull****ter.


PSSST! Did you hear about the ELECTRIC AIRPLANES? The cynics all
said they were IMPOSSIBLE.


Utter nonsense.

What was said, and is still being said, and will be said absent some
astounding breakthrough in basic physics which enables batteries to be
about an order of magnitude better than they are, is that electric airplanes
are IMPRACTICAL.
