Flying aircraft. The Tesla took a lot of carbon to make it and needs more to run it. Even if you are getting electricity from a nuclear reactor, you are displacing other electricity users who could be using that electricity instead of coal. Gliders take fuel to tow them up high to then catch thermals which do give free altitude, so that's a way to get more time in the air without burning even more as you do in your continuously powered flight. You would use less if you didn't do all the flying. Check your CO2 checklist. Mqurice
