They are spooling up commercial passenger rocket flights (for cross-continent travel) in 5 years and won't likely have renewable sources by then, they have already put in or filed to put it pipelines for petro industry gas sources in Texas.
- ben_w 4y ago"Spooling up"? It's currently an un-launched prototype that isn't yet human-rated let alone passenger rated. Why do you think they can move faster on that than on tech invented prior to the birth of the oldest currently living human?

Why?
