We did the math on an airplane taking off. Even a relatively small plane during takeoff is something like 3 megawatts of power. That's enough to power a small town. And that's not some fancy jet, that's a prop plane.
That might not be such a big deal if you have a ton of people on the plane, and you are dividing the energy use across all the people on there, but if you have one rich retard on there, that one guy owns every megawatt his jet produces.
And by the way, a car at highway speeds is going to burn about 10 kilowatts.
The engineering types will note that we're not talking about kilowatt hours so total energy utilized isn't really being talked about here, but fuel cost for one flight can easily dwarf a single person's total annual fuel use for transportation.
