Flying is going to get more expensive.

Biofuel blends needed for all jet engines. Contrails are the worst for climate change.

I'm blaming the next cloudy day on those polluting contrails.

I remember reading that climate scientist noted a difference in temps when planes across North America were grounded after 9/11. Here is a link I found about the research. I wonder what they found when Covid provided a short almost global stoppage of flights.

Another reason to be thankful that there is nowhere I need or want to be badly enough to board an airplane. I'm sure such fuel is perfectly safe.
Otherwise, they wouldn't mandate it.

Let me see... Ticket prices increasing, ..maybe some of the unwashed slobs many here have complained about will take the train, or the bus, or stay home?

Is this trip necessary?

I suspect that if this comes true...there will be a few airlines going out of business.

I wonder if biofuel could even be used in colder climates like here.
I guess if it gets off the ground...all is good.
