Your back of the envelope math is crap. You are comparing USD costs to AUD costs, using fuel costs from 4 years ago, using energy costs that are 50% higher than the article, and completely ignoring the costs of the pollution of burning all that fuel.
The entire peer reviewed article is about how to make this calculation and what figures to use as inputs. Instead of discussing the article, you are throwing around numbers you poorly calculated or pulled from random out of date articles you googled.
- 10u152 4y agoAbsolutely I don't know the price of bunker fuel off hand so I googled it. Are you saying you think that the price of fuel has dropped in the 4 years ? Because looking at the oil market that seems unlikely. No argument on the pollution item. I'm not anti-electrification in general and yes I had read the article. I just think we should be looking at low hanging fruit. Airlines and large ships are going to be the hardest/most expensive to convert.
