Flying is going to get more expensive.
 
Biofuel blends needed for all jet engines. Contrails are the worst for climate change.SmileWavy

wow Lets see some more studies about these amazing biofuel blends

stevej37 11-23-2022 09:21 AM

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

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.

I wonder what Kerrey burns in his private jet?

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?;)

It will affect the air parcel rates also.

Higher prices :eek: Poor Greta Thunberg. Flying around the world to promote a greener planet.

Maybe if they make the contrails blue...nobody would complain.

Our (taxpayer) money

If the contrails create warmer temps....go contrails!!

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

stevej37 11-23-2022 04:00 PM

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

Just finished my November flying schedule.. Burned roughly @850,000 gallons of Jet A on my flights alone..
