I have yet to see anyone propose a realistic path on SAF ever becoming economically viable.
Everything I've seen ultimately relies on some level of
"and then the magic happens, and SAF takes over." Whether it's some magical way around the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, or some meteoric rise in oil prices to the stratosphere that all of a sudden makes SAF viable.
Much like eVTOL and other similar things, it all just seems like another climate-change grift.

Perhaps. And maybe it doesn't even matter anymore, considering the millions and billions we're printing, and throwing into various rat holes (Ukraine, etc). But for the average Joe or Jane who's watched the prices of food, gas, housing, and everything else climb out of sight; they might take offense to $300M being thrown at a bunch of make-work nonsense.
