Default Re: Thread for the mysteriously newsworthy

London-Paris electric flight 'in decade' - BBC News

In ten years? Requires a new sort of rechargeable battery to be invented in the next twelve months that has about ten times the energy density of any existing battery, so vanishingly unlikely.

The BBC never used to run ludicrous stories like this - except on April 1st - but Dave Lee (the reporter) is a credulous idiot, and his bosses are too stupid to know that he should be sacked.
