I commonly hear "jet fuel" expected to be some exceptionally-potent fuel, but the truth is that it's very similar to regular old Diesel with aviation-specific additives.
Today, phrasing your statement relative to something like trucking, where hybrids are widely deployed, does not provide nearly as effective an argument.
That doesn't make it untrue, however. Fossil fuels have provided a naturally-occurring fuel source with a potency we are struggling to match. Everyone knows we've got to get away from them, though.
