300 million lbs of fireworks and 2.7 billion dollars gone in a cloud of smoke.

    Lmao are you being serious or do you lack basic logic, drones are reusable and put off zero emissions, fireworks are not reusable and put off a shit ton of emissions.

      Please stop with such language, we had enough of it on every mainstream platform.

      I genuinely call for civility here.

      As per the substance, as already mentioned, the production and later disposal of drones does have ecological footprint that is very much not negligible.

      Zero emission at use, not at fabrication, probably not when recharging and not as electronic waste at the end. Yes, I am being serious, considering only emission during usage is a very limited view of what carbon footprint is. A view that is often used by companies for green washing. Do you also believe electric cars are zero emissions? Considering full life, knowing which one emits more is not trivial.

        And ignores the typical 20%-40% of energy lost to heat during charging for most batteries.

        There are emissions in the production of fireworks as well. Drones can be recycled at the end of their life cycle, fireworks cannot be recycled. EVs ARE zero emission just like drones, they offset the emissions put out during their production after around 40k miles and are extremely energy efficient unlike combustible engines. An EV running on a coal fired electric grid puts off less emissions than a prius.
