Today she is a liability for the Democratic Party as she is the de facto face of the party.
The Democrats have serious problems coming in 2022 and 2024, if recent election results are a bell weather. Now is not the time to advance a nebulous climate agenda.
To sum this up - I’m not worried about climate change legislation affecting our industry any time soon.
I’d agree with this. The most radical green policy affecting our industry would be some type of environmental tax on fuel. That would increase operating cost making some aircraft types more appealing than others. If fuel stays cheap, the 50 seaters and other old and inefficient types have some life left in them. If the price of fuel goes up significantly, they will be shown a nice parking spot in the desert.
