Lmao are you being serious or do you lack basic logic, drones are reusable and put off zero emissions, fireworks are not reusable and put off a shit ton of emissions.
Zero emission at use, not at fabrication, probably not when recharging and not as electronic waste at the end. Yes, I am being serious, considering only emission during usage is a very limited view of what carbon footprint is. A view that is often used by companies for green washing. Do you also believe electric cars are zero emissions?
Considering full life, knowing which one emits more is not trivial.
There are emissions in the production of fireworks as well. Drones can be recycled at the end of their life cycle, fireworks cannot be recycled. EVs ARE zero emission just like drones, they offset the emissions put out during their production after around 40k miles and are extremely energy efficient unlike combustible engines. An EV running on a coal fired electric grid puts off less emissions than a prius.
Please stop with such language, we had enough of it on every mainstream platform.
I genuinely call for civility here.
As per the substance, as already mentioned, the production and later disposal of drones does have ecological footprint that is very much not negligible.
My brother in christ, drones are all over that paper. Have you read an academic paper before? Do you know how to follow sources in papers? Tell you what, you go find some sources of your own and we can compare. Sitting back and saying “nuh uh” ain’t gonna do it. Put up or shut up.

Objectively, so you have some data to back it up? Do you have the comparative carbon footprint of those shows?

And ignores the typical 20%-40% of energy lost to heat during charging for most batteries.

How are fireworks better then?

B-b-but they use batteries!!! Electricity bad! D:

Batteries = genuinely bad.
Also, energy doesn’t always come from clean sources, and even then, they do have footprint of their own.

Charging batteries typically loses 20%-40% of energy to heat.

Yes, I do. Here you go champ.
oce@jlai.lu 2 months ago
No you don’t, that’s for fireworks, now we need the impact of drone shows to answer the problem. Would you have it?
