I would be willing to wager that all of those viable and sensible arguments will fall on deaf ears.

The largest danger to private aviation are unelected officials using psuedo-science “for good”.
Arthur, that’s the largest danger. Period 
The alphabet groups may advocate for keeping 100LL in place until the distribution system for a replacement is operational, but that will likely depend on state and local authorities and not the Fed EPA. States like California are already hell-bent on eliminating leaded gasoline as a pretext to closing down airports so the valuable land can be sold to developers.
This is such an appropriate photo to accompany this article. Why isn’t the Cirrus in the picture powered by JetA fueling an aviation certified Diesel engine?
The Cirrus fleet is using a tremendous percentage of the 100LL right now, and pressuring us to stay with a 100 octane future. Ironically, Cirrus’ parent company, AVIC, has this quote on Continental’s Website right now:“Continental Aerospace Technologies™ Jet-A engines are world-class benchmarks in General Aviation, with more than 7,500 are produced and shipped and more than 2,000 engines in operation today, reporting upwards of 9 million hours. They are favored by flight schools and specified by major OEMs including Tecnam®, Cessna®, Diamond® , Mooney® , Glasair® , Piper® , and Robin® . These Jet-A fueled engines operate on universally-available aviation fuel kerosene (Jet Fuel, Jet-A and other certified aviation Jet fuels). Each is certified to the requirements of FAA, EASA and a further 78 countries. Continental continues to develop the technologically advanced engine series which now includes engines ranging from 135 HP to 300 HP.”
Do you see THEIR OWN aircraft company in this list??
