    They do plenty of ecodestruction. If we had them now, they’d be fueled by hydrocarbons. That could hypothetically be batteries in the future, but batteries good enough for that could do equally well in airplanes.

    The material used in making them rigid also has a carbon cost.

      Don’t forget that they are huge, you could fit a lot of solar power on them, given that it would be light enough
