Small Planes Not Profitable With Rising Fuel Prices
I never liked taking commuter planes. These are the planes that sputter along, noisy and loud, turbulent and unstable like a flying rollercoaster. So I’m not too disappointed by this study showing that smaller planes are being left behind as fuel prices rise. I consider this the warning shot across the bow in terms of peak oil, however. Large planes may soon follow, and our days of cheap travel may be coming to an end. Bummer. I have yet to see Europe. Time to get my traveling in before it becomes something only the rich can afford.
I love technology but I am also quite aware of the negative impact it can have on the environment. Still, I think it's technology that has the most potential to save us. Here you'll find articles on the green tech aka clean tech, such as alternative fuel, green computing, and e-cycling. You'll also hear about the "green" and the "tech" - from green household cleaners to why Linux is the progressive operating system of choice.
