ATA and AIA put markers down for Obama administration

| | Comments (2)
The US Air Transport Association (ATA) has fired its first shot across the Obama administration's bows as it continues its fight to prevent emissions trading, or other market-based tools, in the USA. ATA president and CEO James C May has written this for the National Journal's transportation expert blog.

The next day he was followed by his equivalent at the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), Marion Blakey, on a related tack. Not a coincidence, I think it can be assumed.

New Zealand agonises over effect of The Big OE

NewZealand_A2002296_2220_115x150.jpgI haven't been to New Zealand and chances are you haven't either. But New Zealanders go to a lot of places - notably the UK - frequently a long way away, and usually by air. And those people who do go to NZ also generally fly a long way to get there. The Kiwis, who I mentally stereotype as the Scandinavians of the South, have the good grace to worry about what all this flying is doing carbon-wise.
