The move away from carbon fuels is more than Climate Change Issue. Increasing demand for aviation fuel by 2050-60? Peak oil now 50 yrs conventional oil remain Alternatives costly and limited production potential
17
Carbon Free in 50 Years? Monumental challenge Step change in Technology & Infrastructure. 20-30 years away? Who will fund this change?
