>>2065173the french are making a fret airship, mostly for canada, to transport mostly lumbering in remote area, so there's a future for airship fret
it's also interesting because you barely need any infrastructure for transport itself so you don't have to buy a ton of separate properties to lay rail like train
also there's multiple prototypes of anchored airships with turbines that can be an alternative to wind turbines that need a gorillion tons of aluminium (pollute to make and recycle) and the other gorillion of tons on concrete necessary so your aluminium pillar stay in place (which destroy soils)
so unironically airships are the future but it's too inefficient sizewise to be used as a trailer car
