Per fuel/mile/cargo, aircraft are actually very efficient

That chart says “per passenger mile” and doesn’t seem to include cargo.

E: and I don’t disagree that short-hop domestic flights are worse for the environment. High-speed trains should definitely be used in that instance.

Relative to passenger cars, they really sort of are.
