For transcontinental flights yes you are correct: fuel powered jets are the way and they will be for a while. However, right now we are the stage where trainer and small passenger planes can run all electric. Its inaugural Canadian flight happened last year in Campbell River, B.C.
For arctic, island and remote areas we have commercially viable technology at this moment to make planes that can take people around, but only if we let it happen.
It will soon scale to a 10-20 passenger flights, and propellers are fine for filling the regional jet niche. Porter Airlines has been doing that already in Canada with fuel-powered 160 person propeller planes, going to electric doesn’t seem too far-fetched in our near future and would be even quieter than their current planes, which would make island residents happier.
Na-ion is still not dense enough for aviation at this moment but if it could with some advanced it would solve much of the combustibility problem.
The conspiracy is about trying to impede on this progress by pretending if at one scale is currently impossible then it will never be possible, rather than trying to tackle it with whatever technologies are available or will become commercially available just over the horizon.
