Bio fuels for air travel is not the answer. We need zero emission technologies for transportation.
- tigerlily 4y agoAgree, and I too was lost at that point, but I implore you to read on.
- nradov 4y agoWhat specific technologies are you suggesting? It is possible to manufacture carbon-neutral synthetic liquid hydrocarbon fuels using renewable sources of heat and electricity. The costs are higher than fossil fuels today but that is a fixable problem.
- la64710 4y agoI don’t know if Mother Nature will care if something has carbon neutral label on it or not but when burnt it emits a bunch of CO2 and other toxic gases into the atmosphere. So we really need to switch to electric engines for transportation and then use fuel cells charged from renewable sources with them.
- nradov 4y agoThe point of carbon neutral fuels is that the CO2 used was captured. Electric motors aren't going to be viable for long-haul flights in our lifetimes due to battery weight. Fuel cells aren't "charged", but they do need a supply of hydrogen. I'm skeptical whether that will work out due to safety, storage, and volume issues.
- bombcar 4y agoWe know how to travel with zero or near zero emissions; we just don't want to. Make the world big again! Stop with traveling faster than 25 miles per hour! It'll blow your face off anyway.
