Good. Now the operating costs will go down, and we can get the excess.

Yah right mon...
Bio fuels aren't what they're cracked up to be..
The engines have to produce power right?
Jet A's British Thermal Units or BTU's per pound is 40-50% higher than the bio-fuels.
Using bio-fuel to produce the same amount of power from the engines will require substantially more pounds of bio-fuel than Jet A.
More fuel weight means higher fuel burn.
Less emissions? I don't think so.
Coco - loco fuel is just a gimmick.
Boy won't those technicians be surprised when they find that out..bummer.
