Obama is Promising Green

Our President elect, Barrack Obama, has promised to have a green agenda. This past week he has promised the nation that he will fight climate change. He has plans to reduce emissions and he has promised $15 billion a year to go to low-carbon energy- including solar, wind, nuclear and next-generation biofuels.



Obama has said, "Delay is no longer an option,. Denial is no longer an acceptable response. The stakes are too high. The consequences, too serious."

So our President elect has our hopes up and hopefully he can help deliver a greener tomorrow.

Aviation Biofuel from Jatropha Trees

Boeing and Air New Zealand have announced that they will fly an airplane with a 50-50 mix of jet fuel and oil from jatropha trees. This is an effort to help reduce harmful emissions and conserve fuel.



Billy Glover, Boeing’s managing director of environmental strategy, said,

“The processing technology exists today, and based on results we’ve seen, it’s highly encouraging that this fuel not only met but exceeded three key criteria for the next generation of jet fuel: higher than expected jet fuel yields, very low freeze point and good energy density. That tells us we’re on the right path to certification and commercial availability.”

So we can hope that in the future, there will be more efforts to help save fuel and protect our air from the aviation industry.
