An electric plane will expend similar levels of energy to a jet plane.
Comment on UK would need forest ‘twice size of London’ to offset new airport expansion.

The rationale of electric planes is unhinged. “We’re going to plan to expend energy as if future technology has already been implemented”.

That’s beside my point, considering that all commercial electric aircraft being developed are basically all at our near the “announced plans to develop” stage and they’re already talking about expanding airports using these erstwhile emissions savings as a rationale. It would be more honest to say they don’t actually give a damn about the climate.

Ok, I see where you’re coming from and agree.
