Plane travel keeps getting more energy efficient -- and more troublesome, too.
Get out your propeller beanies, folks. I'm going into full-on geek mode.
On Monday I mentioned that -- despite my family's best efforts to cut back on our CO2 emissions by reducing how much we fly -- the world has conspired to defeat us. Sure, we're flying less, but the rest of our extended family is flying more as a consequence.
One commentor asked if I shouldn't forget all the personal sacrifice fol-de-rol, and just work to convince Boeing to build more efficient planes.
Oh, if only it were so easy...
