Solarpunk Travel @slrpnk.net MrMakabar @slrpnk.net Battery powered flights from Washington DC to LA. No longer a pipe dream?
That kind of plane could very much fly trans Atlantic with stop overs in Iceland or Greenland or further south from Kap Verde or Guinea to Brazil.

www.strongtowns.org If We Want a Shift to Walking, We Need To Prioritize DignityWhy does walking feel so intuitive when we’re in a city built before cars, yet as soon as we return home, walking feels like an unpleasant chore that immediately drives us into a car?
