I would love to see some real investment into them once again, for energy efficiency they can't be beat

Are they competitive with cars/trains though. In the article linked by the sibling it says the Airlander can reach speeds of 50 knots. That is probably fine for a cruise-ship type experience, but for actually going anywhere a well designed train network seems like it would be much more effective?
