A good report. Thanks.
I see no possibility that aviation will not be dependent on fossil fuel energy densities. Aviation is the highest-visibility carbon generator and a too-easy target of society. Aviation members need to find a structure that allows them to 1) agree that fossil fuels are their future, then 2) create and manage a massive carbon offset program to bring aviation to carbon neutrality. But this can only happen if ALL of aviation joins together to make it happen. Waiting for political pressure to force the issue will not be the right strategy.
