Should Governments be Focusing on Planes, Not Cars?
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009By now we are all aware of global warming and many people, like myself are keen to do what they can to slow this inevitable process down. It’s no surprise that emissions from cars is a major pollutant but have the governments being focusing too much on cars and not enough on air travel.
It has been suggested that the EU should put more funds towards looking into using biofuels for aviation. After all, we already have hybrid cars and some car plants are even set to mass manufacturer electric cars in the years to come. With this alternative it seems silly not to turn more attention on planes.
Although a viable alternative to fossil fuels needs to be found will we just be destroying our planet in other ways when rainforests are cut down to make space for farmland growing biofuels?
