It won't reduce jet fuel. It just means commercial planes can carry more cargo.

    Excellent point! But then wouldn't that mean fewer cargo planes? So still less fuel overall even if not on a per-plane basis.

    Micro economics: Price will reduce to maximize utilization

    The world we know: reduction in cost means increased profits we can funnel directly into fuel for the CEO'S private jet and super yachts.

    Carbon isn't considered a cost by the wealthy and powerful.
