So, here's how to kill a few birds with one rock. Make jet fuel using nuclear energy. But nuclear energy is horribly expensive, right? No, civilian nuclear energy is horribly expensive. The US Navy churns out nuclear reactors at a steady pace, and operate them perfectly safely. They've never had any incident. If the Congress mandates the US Navy to become net zero carbon emitter, they can do it. And they also gain additional logistical simplification. They say that every gallon of fuel sent to the front line in Iraq costs the DoD $100. Yes, in the oil-soaked Iraq. If you shorten the supply line, maybe this price goes down to a more reasonable level. Can you imagine that, instead of getting a war for the exorbitant price of $10 trillion, you can get one for a paltry $1 trillion? We could get 10 wars for the price of one.
