While there might be something to the underlying tech the current two most promising paths to carbon neutral airlines are synthetic fuel generated with green energy and better batteries. It's highly unlikely that exotic, barely developed hydrogen tech that's not even made it to the "tech demonstrator prototype" phase is going to work exactly the way they're hoping in the end. A few % here and there from unexpected circumstances tends to make a big difference in viability, especially in situations where engineering margins or economic margins are thin (both apply to commercial flight).

Yeah, people don't like being told they fell for exactly what the editor who chose the title wanted them to fall for.

No, ignorant editorial bloviating is specifically forbidden in the ToS.

The article is clearly greenwashed with respect to the potential impact of the tech (it's at such an early stage lord knows where if any applications in which it will be used). This is corporate press release SOP. Calling it out as wasted words to be ignored or disregarded isn't "editorial bloviating".

And they're guidelines, not a ToS.
