This don’t make walkin around sense.
Ok, so let me get this straight. This rocket scientist is trying to save the planet from globular warming and what not, and he wants to help build those giant offshore wind turbines far inland. You know, those big windmills that are for the most part a giant waste of money.
The problem is it is very difficult to transport the giant components inland. So, he has a brain fart to build the world’s biggest airplane to carry the parts. Let’s consider the impact on the planet of doing such a thing.
First, just building the plane will require a lot of energy and material. Impact on the planet: negative.
Second, actually flying and maintaining the plane will leave a massive carbon footprint. Impact on the planet: negative.
Third, this plane will require a 6,000 foot runway. Since these giant windmills will be in the middle of nowhere, say Wyoming and other similar locations, multiple runways will be required in very close proximity to these windmill farms. The runways must be constructed of concrete to support the big ass plane and it’s payload. I read where concrete production contributes 7% of globular warming worldwide. Impact on the planet: negative.
Fifth, what happens when the wind ain’t blowing? Impact on the planet: negative.
I know some of y’all will spew some stats touting that wind power is the cat’s pajamas, but I call bullshit on that. This big plane is one hell of a stupid idea. So much so that Joementia will surely use our tax dollars to fund it.

It’s the Skytanic! Plans revealed for world’s largest plane — it’s a whopping 356 feet long
Designed by the Colorado-based energy company Radia, the behemoth cargo carrier has a wingspan of 261 feet.
