Are they mutually exclusive though? Plenty of love stories are tragedies, just to mention a few: Titanic, Anna Karenina, The Notebook, Love Story...
I would even say, most tragedies are love stories.

They were not "Italians" though, they were part of the Venetian republic, which now is part of Italy.
This is like saying Pocahontas was from the US just because she was born where is now the state of Virginia.
I thought Romeo was a teenager too? I mean, the difference in age should be around 3 years they are supposed to be 13 and 16, although the age of Romeo is really never specified, I wouldn't say it's that problematic.
I find Anakin and Padme, or Bella and Edward more problematic, and there's not much outrage for those.
I don't know the first person that thinks banning jets is a silver bullet to solve climate change, or excuse their own behaviour by blaming people flying on jets.
You are getting angry about people that don't exist, or are not even a significant portion.
If you ban any single activity you're not going to stop polluting the planet... Because there's no single contributor, so your options are to do nothing or stop everything all together? None of them are feasible.
I don't even think you have to ban private jets, just tax them very heavily (because they are plain luxury).
Any answer would be hypothetical by definition... Not sure what's your point there.
Being able to kill anyone (who's clearly not a threat) touching your property, without any repercussions, is the most barbaric, feudalist weirdest shit I've ever heard of. This type of shit doesn't belong to a supposedly developed country. It belongs to medieval vikings.
I mean, that's what I do, do you think that's feasible for everyone? No. Not everyone is willing to go through that much hassle.
I use both. Sadly, I have lots of software that doesn't work (or works pretty bad) on Linux. I love Linux, but there's no denying it can be frustrated, specially if your hardware doesn't support it, and that applies to too many people who has no saying in the hardware they use.
So in what world? Corporate world, science, CAD modelling...
More appropriate in terms of what? Batteries and renewable fuels could serve two applications. And be more practical in certain locations.
The infrastructure can be location based. Doesn't make sense to have EV in certain locations with poor grid coverage, or renewable fuels in big cities.
We have plenty of technologies with double infrastructure, I mean EV and carbon based fuels are both around, no problem whatsoever, even better on because we don't rely on a single infrastructure. Renewable fuels can use a similar infrastructure to natural gas with a few tweaks. We have fiber optic, cable phone, 4/5G, all serve the "same" purpose but for different applications. There's no "winner" there.
Batteries don't deliver power as fast as fuels, so depending on what you need as a consumer you can decide to go for EV (single passenger small car for cities) or renewable fuels for long range, or high powered trucks for freight and heavy load.
There are laws of thermodynamics and there are laws of kinetics.
Fuels have much more power density than batteries. You can't deliver power as fast with a battery compared to a fuel. It doesn't matter if thermodynamically one is more efficient or greener than the other. You would be crazy to suggest moving an airbus with a battery, that's physically impossible.
I'm a researcher in both fields (batteries and hydrogen)
I don't remember the study, but some of the plastic packaging can help to keep the food fresh for longer, and then minimise the loss of food, which is actually one of the main issues with food distribution, so counterintuitively, using plastic packaging can actually alleviate the environmental impact. Plastic is extremely good at doing its job, it's basically impermeable, inert towards food and can last forever (bad thing though).
Is there an alternative to plastic packaging, probably, but l don't know it if it's economical.
