It's crazy how we've rationalized the environmental clearance for a modern electric train dwarfs equivalent trips in lead based fueled jets.

- Ekaros 4y agoIs there jet engines using leaded fuels? I thought it was about internal combustion engines?
- slapshot 4y agoCommercial jets in the US run on Jet-A, which is lead-free and kerosene-like. Adding 737 flights will not add any lead. You are thinking 100LL ("low lead") Avgas, which is gasoline-like and used for small propeller planes (think San Carlos airport, not SFO). It's a general aviation problem, not a commercial aviation problem. *(edited to swap San Carlos, not San Mateo)
