I love these technologies, but they are not viable until there is a cost parity with current fuels which will not be any time soon.
It would be fantastic if we could eliminate lead from aviation fuel. At the same time, I really wish we’d stop finding new uses for corn. The cycle of incentives for corn production is already out of control.
