Move raises concerns for Europe’s aviation fuel transition
Another great consequence of the 2024 election of our very popular President Trump, whose administration is slashing all this claptrap green slime. This statement typifies the strong-arm tactics used by crony companies working with their friends in government to force consumers to buy a product they do not want. “Policies to support SAF need to start with much stronger production incentives, not just relying on mandates, so that SAF can be competitive with traditional jet fuel and adopted by airlines.” So, in other words, it is not enough that we force the airlines to use SAF, but we must steal from taxpayers to make sure they do not go bankrupt in the process of using SAF. It’s time to nominate Trump for another Nobel Prize, this one in economics.
