    We should mostly use electric trains and sailboats for traveling long distances while we wait for more developed electric planes.

      I completely agree. We should build more trainlines under or over oceans, like the channel tunnel but longer.

        That sounds like an ecological disaster. I love trains and sail boats and mass transport that don’t run on fossil fuels, but we also can’t overlook the ecological implications of building ideas like yours. We’ve fucked enough of marine, coastal and soon, deep sea / sea floor ecosystems already.
