Quiz77, right now, the National Soybean Board, as well as Farm Bureau and several other agricultural groups, are working to get Congress to make an annually increasing percentage of all aviation fuel SAF. It would help All levels of the environment And the economy.

Prairie Woman , I’m afraid it’s nothing more than tokenism. A 737 holds tons of fuel. I imagine that fryers would provide a tiny fraction. You could collect more, but that would require gas powered trucks…

Player #51457099, The thing that really matters is these things are being done, not by government mandate, but through cooperation and innovation. If enough businesses innovate this way (and many are), maybe there is room for some hope. This IS happening in Texas, where some large percentage of the population believes that "Climate change isn't real. We're not having that here."

Player #85315195, It isn't being used in jets all over the world because it was just invented! It takes time for new ideas to spread and be accepted, and more time to be implemented. It can't happen overnight. But it's a brilliant idea, and absolutely a step in the right direction. (And I'm proud that DFW is the leader in this.)

Why aren't all airlines all doing this yet?
Player Say what!?

The airplane is Ryanair. It is because it has a woman with wings that are gold and the background is is dark blue. I love Ryanair!
