On Jet Fuel Consumption





Entry 1/02/10:





         Well, just when I thought I could temporarily leave my fury over the coal-mining industry behind, I began to research the topic of jet fuel and resource consumption. Lo and behold, just look at what I found:

The United States Air Force considering COAL as the source of jet fuel? Please! Coal-because crude oil, at current prices, is untenable in the long term; coal because it is “plentiful and cheaper”? (cited from web site above)

         So when did COAL become a renewable resource? You know, COAL INDUSTRY, you can only remove so many mountain tops, you can only excavate so many mines, you can only start or allow underground fires which burn for centuries!, destroying all the potential COAL fuel in those mines as well as killing plant life and forests above and endangering animal and human life nearby, and before long, what do you know? NO MORE MOUNTAINS, NO MORE MINING, NO MORE COAL, MORE UNEMPLOYMENT, MORE ECONOMIC DEPRESSION, MORE RELIANCE ON CRUDE OIL.





And more and more commercial airlines are reducing their regional transports, which use smaller planes requiring less fuel, allegedly because of intensifying jet fuel expense, in order to fly only LARGE JETS requiring mucho fuel. There is something really confusing about this entire picture, don't you think?
