RE: U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet first supersonic jet to fly on biofuels
It would have been interesting for the article to provide a cost comparison of the biofuel to the petrofuel - green often costs substantially more, which means the taxpayer would have to be willing to carry a heavier load to be green.
In response to the emotional and short-sighted comment: "This is an incredibly silly concept. Green would be to stop fighting wars" -
1. Green is green.In principle, you are for it or against it. In practice, you may not be willing to pay extra for it.
2. Most technological advances come as a result of investigation into military application. If you are vehemently opposed to this, get rid of your cell phone, computer, and microwave oven.
3. In the military ideal, you would be able to eliminate the threat your enemies pose while leaving the environment uncontaminated for the use of your allies.
4. To stop wars, all you need do is first eliminate greed, be it financial, religious or other.Concentrate on the cause, not the symptom.
