Some US airlines have begun testing enviromentally friendly fuel. And while the efforts may help the environment, unlike in the European Union, the US government does not force airliners to go green. The ecological benefits would be undeniable - just one year's avaiation traffic fuelled by bio... More

OMFG its going to be forever for those dipshits to relize we need green fuel
gorapeng Says:
kerosene-from-plant-oil technology relates to kerosene-from-coal technology, which dates back to WW2. USAF had quite a headstart in this direction before the green mania had hit.
magallanes351 Says:
idk what movie or clip my teacher showed me but it was a man that was creating bio fuel. then the government shutted down bio fuel cutting down gas stations etc. ...
WoodlandRavah Says:
HEY! Anyone tell you guys yet that bio fuels produce more CO2 than just burning what comes out of the ground? Don't believe me? Search the term "fermentation". Also CO2 concentration is only .038% of the atmosphere, good job trying to suffocate plants there environmentalists, anything for the polar bear right?
Dookiedolf Says:
You certain this isnt just a publicity stunt ? Just like after a natural disaster & all these countries pledge billions in aid but actually never pay up ( google if in doubt ). Though I suspect USAFinterest in alternative fuels is genuine. Napolean said "an army marches on its stomach", well today its driven on its oil tank. As most wars are fought over resources, doeesnt matter how hi tech or how many weapons you have, if you havent got the fuel to power them.

, I agree, why they have changed the name to Climate change. at least I can agree we are having "climate change." if C02 was the real problem they should shut down the Ocean! one of the biggest C02 producers around.. besides I thought C02 was the life gas

BS! stop, stop, stop. Al jazeera we know you are controlled by the British that set up the middle east a century ago. your a lame duck and have no influence. do us a favor and just shut up
bbphnix Says:
US companies going green? is this Bizaro world? what happened to climate change being a scam? and won't the companies producing air fuel be pissed over losing profits? Didn't companies like those rule America? well, there is some hope for that country yet!

as long as it isnt ethenol
Kerberoz01 Says:
How long until the tinfoil hat nutters start claiming biofuel is actually a secret government plot to spread more chemtrails in order to pacify us for the coming reptilian invasion? I give it a week, tops.
Azamspazam91 Says:
green aviation is just about saving money in the long term. Its never been about doing the right thing lol. Its just business like always
orison319 Says:
legalize hemp you fucktards!
TankT9 Says:
What next, military will use bio bombs and bio bullets? Never before dying would be so ecologically friendly. :P
Mrmoc7 Says:
No. Environmentally friendly deathmachines kill two birds w/ one stone: They reduce our emission of carbon dioxide and reduce human population. That's a win-win for the environment.

@themadhackermatt U think if we have proper distribution infrastructure solves food shortage around the world? No. Cambodian and Vietnam did have proper road even thought it is not paved. It would cost a lot of money to distribute food and who is going to pay for the transportation and distribution networks?
themadhackermatt Says:
You misunderstand my point. There is a lack of food in certain parts of the world, true, but the transportation networks that would enable proper distribution of food to these needy areas are simply not in place. I lament this sorry state of affairs and the seeming lack of international support for a proper infrastructure that would enable distribution of food to places that need it most.
Jeenyus1983 Says:
If "We the People" used 6 percent of our arid soil, we could run the entire nations cars, trucks,etc on hemp fuel which produces less than 20% the Co2 than petroleum fuel. The downside is it would also be much cheaper than other fuels which would lower revenue brought in on the taxes compared to petroleum based fuels...I wonder why the powers at be banned hemp use for industrial purposes and created the marijuana prohibition act...
adventuresineurope Says:
Hemp for fuel food and fiber!
Lookup2Wakeup Says:
People are waking up to the global warming hoax. The truth will prevail.
Lookup2Wakeup Says:
They forgot to mention 10% barium added too.
playgrrrr Says:
Food is not the only resource humans depend on.
AUAirForce Says:
I run my car with coffee and recycling cooking oil fuel. Cheap and no pollution. Try it for planes could work too :)
KresTKroVee Says:
time for your grocery products to sky-rocket in price. Thats the real reason they are doing it.

Think it's just you.
marsCubed Says:
"Cost more crude oil to make Bio fuel" Depends on the bio fuel.. there's interesting research with sea-weed ATM. ie Like long lines that go miles out to sea, slowly be reeled in.. looped at the other end.. constant sea weed coming in.. thousands of lines, mops up farm spill fertilizer algae too. It is then chemically reduced to be more like oil, not just burnt. Everything in water, wave rocking to pull lines, sun drying adds moisture to air. Researching planes meantime is good IMO.
