Doesn't "North London" count as a "town or city", then?

Because you've already claimed that pollution from an industrial accident
arising from the generation/transmission/storage of energy for
transportation will drift over North London.

The fact that Buncefield's fire was primarily aviation fuel seems to have
slipped you by, too.

Or will your utopia have electric planes, too?

I already fly them :-)

However no, energy density is not and will never be enough for commercial
planes...those will lilely be repalced by high speed trains for overland
routes, and by biofuel or hydrogen for intercontinental flight.

If hydrogen were to be used for commercial flight, the body of the jet
would have to be the fuel tank and the number of passengers carried
would be the limited to whoever could crowd into the back of the cockpit
and the lavatory.
