Without doing or seeing the actual math, my intuition leans on the side of it's probably much more efficient to put people together under certain constraints and fly them in one big container, than lots of unconstrained individual containers. See public transport vs cars for a similar tradeoff.

You have not understood the analogy, and I am not explaining it.

Well, if you don't even want to be understood, why say anything to begin with?

Rereading your comment, if you meant the amount of generated electricity when you mentioned public transport, then it was actually me who did not understand your analogy. My apologies.

Remember that Poe's Law makes subtle parody or sarcasm almost impossible on the Internet.

Now the only real way I can understand your original comment is that lots of little drones can't actually do the job of commercial passenger planes, and therefore it's an ironic send-off of the people who try to compare the safety of lots of little intermittent renewable generators to nuclear power plants.

Because lots of little intermittent renewable generators can no more do the job of a nuclear power plant than the drones can do the job of the big passenger jet.
