it’s the most expensive to build/operate and much safer than typically perceived. Accidents are spectacular and rare.

    Do you have any kind of source for your claim that synthesised aviation fuel doesn’t pollute? That’s certainly a new one on me, especially considering the companies that sell it don’t even make that claim themselves.

    Less polluting /= not polluting.

      My claim is that fuel can be done right (read “clean”, more on that later), just how nuclear power can be done right. Will it be done right? Probably not.

      Also, clean does not mean no pollution, at least not in our world. Solar cells pollute, windmills pollute. Green energy in general pollutes quite a lot when compared to “no pollution at all”.

      No pollution seems unrealistic with current technologies and politics, so best we can do is attempt and limit our pollution to technologies which pollute less, or at least have the possibility of polluting less.

      Also, how did natural gas become a clean, green source of energy? (that’s a rethoric question, I know why, i just think it’s stupid.)
