Air travel is our safest, fastest, and lowest cost mode of transportation, but unfortunately is also the most harmful to our planet. The United States must invest to accelerate the transition to zero-emissions electric and hydrogen-electric aircraft.

Transitioning the aviation industry to clean aircraft is going to be extremely difficult and will take decades. But we must get this done, and we must fully solve the problem instead of settling for half-measures. 8/.

We’ve been thoughtful in the design of our aircraft and battery systems to maximize their lifetime and minimize the lifecycle carbon footprint of each flight. We will continue to evaluate our environmental footprint as we grow and will take action to reduce it wherever we can. 7/.

We believe it is imperative that we take bold action across our business to minimize our impact on the planet. Today, all of our major facilities source 100% renewable energy, and we intend to source renewable energy for our commercial aircraft operations. 6/.

We need to be honest about the environmental impact of flight and invest today in technologies that are climate neutral, not just carbon neutral. Truly sustainable flight requires moving from combustion engines to electric and hydrogen-electric propulsion. 4/.

The development time of a new aircraft is roughly a decade, and most aircraft models are typically produced for a few decades and then operated for a few decades. That means an aircraft entering development today will likely still be operating in 2050. 3/.

Burning fuel in the upper atmosphere continues to have severe consequences on the climate of our planet, and we must rapidly change course as air travel continues to grow. 2/.

Air travel is our fastest, safest, and lowest cost mode of transport. As a result, passenger kilometers flown has roughly doubled each decade for the past 50 years. But this freedom of movement comes with a cost. 1/.

From investing 300 billion EUR to accelerate Europe's transition to clean energy to building future hydrogen corridors, she is setting a remarkably high bar for the rest of the world to meet. (2/3)

An inspired speech from EU Commission President @vonderleyen today @Davos. She didn't just remind us how much is at stake in these turbulent times, she also demonstrated to the world how much we can achieve if we focus on our shared values. Truly spectacular leadership. (1/3)

We have an opportunity to radically change how we think about time, distance, and movement while simultaneously moving aviation towards a sustainable future. I hope you’ll watch tonight’s show and follow us in our mission to save a billion people an hour a day. (3/4).

Growing up among the great redwoods of California with the ever-present threat of climate change, it was always clear to me that sustainability needed to be at the forefront of @jobyaviation’s mission. (2/4).

It was a pleasure to welcome @ Anderson Cooper, and the @CBS 60 Minutes team to our Marina facility to talk about why I have dedicated the last decade to making clean, quiet, and fast air travel an everyday reality. (1/4)
