abc's wish is granted and the D.R. get screwed.
Airfare from Europe will now go up to pay for a ridiculous Carbon Tax.

The airline industry’s total bill is expected to be €1.1bn ($1.5bn) at today’s carbon prices, the study says. The whole sector may only make a $4bn profit this year, the International Air Transport Association has forecast.

“Compared to airlines’ annual fuel bills, these additional costs are minor, but compared to profits they are considerable,” said Andreas Arvanitakis, Thomson Reuters Point Carbon associate director. “The question is how much of the cost can be passed to passengers and cargo clients.”


How much will be passed along????

HAHAHAHAHA! All of it!!!

So just sit back and watch the # of tourists fro Europe decline.

My solar oven produces very fine food thank you.

It's a hybrid so it can also run from solar electricity.

Good.....Now you can pay the "Carbon" tax for the airlines so that the D.R. tourism industry doesn't take a hit.


BTW How do you grill with a Solar oven?

Nonsense of course. First a jet plane burns very little fuel cruising at altitude and burns much taking off and landing. So short routes to Spain etc from Europe. will be penalized much more.

Airlines are ordering superjumbos with up to 840 seats such as the A380. These are very economical on fuel.

The purchase of these planet saving planes will be encouraged by moderate fuel taxes and older planes may be retired.

If you look at all inclusive prices from apple vacations etc. to the DR you will find that in many cases they are more expensive than similar vacations from Europe.

Airline efficiency of European charter airlines serving the DR is already very high and the increased tax will encourage them to invest in even more efficient aircraft creating jobs and saving the environment.

If aC had to pay 12 dollars a gallon for gasoline I have no doubt he would, if he is at all rational, invest in a car that sips gas and saves the planet.

More stupidity. You can barely heat up a grill cheese with that joke of a Treehugger oven.

You can't make this with a solar oven




Nor can you grill this
