To clarify my stance, building an electric version of a dash 8 (for example) is totally possible, but range would be limited and I doubt it would be cost competitive with high speed rail. There may be a niche for planes like that servicing rural airports and chartered flights for the wealthy, but you're never going to fly transatlantic routes.
