nobody. nobody cares. the only thing airlines care about is bodies in seats and making money. Joe Traveler could give 2 sh**ts about if his airplane is carbon free. He wants his $29 ticket.
carbon mandates and green energy have been the talk of politicians worldwide, for years. Put "green energy" up there with "inflation" and "employment numbers" as hot topics. Left and right both:

Props exist because they are economical for the mission planned.
In this case it is not the average Joe beer drinking passenger that matters. What he thinks is irrelevant. It is what Governments think along with their ever increasing environmental standards. Any airline who buy a gas guzzler at this point is going to find themselves restricted in the near future.
