Planes will be decarbonized later. We can start with the low hanging fruit, coal, peaker plants, and preventing new coal in growing nations. Batteries are improving every year, Teslas costs suggest they will have thr density in 10 or 15 years to displace the lower range flights. We could also utilize hybrid tech in planes, we can add a small amount of electric power just for takeoff and regen it during descent. But still, planes and certain industry will be decarbonized last.
