Posting because I saw another post on this community about Extinction Rebellion UK blocking a private jet airport today (June 2024) (https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2024/06/02/climate-activists-blockade-farnborough-private-jet-airports-three-main-gates/) and wondered how many people know that leaded fuel is still pretty common in planes, both in the UK and elsewhere; I was pretty shocked when I first learned this
Leaded fuel is still used in piston airplanes everywhere. While there are ongoing efforts to develop an unleaded alternative, there is none currently available to the market.
The alternative is to ground them. Into dust (and recycle).
What’s your alternative for access and supplies to many remote communities?
Lol, remote and UK is about 5 Scottish islande.
Same as for current lunar communities.
History should stay preserved, you want your items to be a discovery don’t you.
Humanity: but it’s poisoning the planet, and the humans
Business: lol yeah
It’s not even business - a lot of small planes are just hobbyists. So we’re getting poisoned (to say nothing of the noise pollution) by people flying in circles for fun
