Major Airlines vs. CAP & TRADE
I worry about 'cap and trade's impact on our profession.
Acid rain, sulfur dioxide .. bad stuff, I agree.
But carbon dioxide??? Seriously???
Every living organism exhales carbon dioxide.

This legislation looks to negatively impact any industry which uses fossil fuels. Being that none of your engines yet run on electricity, that would include everyone on this forum. I suggest you let your opinion be known to your appropriate congressional representative.

Kind of interesting but if you think of the atmosphere as a football field, CO2 would make up about 3 inches of the field length. I just found that interesting.

If you thought oil speculation was bad for the airlines, just wait til we have a futures market on carbon emissions.
