Turning Food into Jet Fuel

Kip Hansen — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 14:00:00 +0000

One of the absolutely nuttier ideas to come out of the climate change / anti-fossil fuels mania of modern times comes from the international airlines business. They are being pushed by governments and getting unending pressure to signal their virtue by visibly climbing aboard the “Stop Fossil Fuels Now” bandwagon.

New York City Zero Emission Vehicle Fleet Legislation

Michael Kelly: The green energy Net Zero plan will require a command economy

Charles Rotter — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 01:00:00 +0000

So the real cost of net-zero, or more likely of trying and failing to achieve it, would be similar to – or even more than – total projected US government spending out to 2050. There is no likelihood of that amount of money being diverted from other purposes under anything resembling normal market economics and standards of living.
