Yes, I flew planes for a living. So what? As an employee I had no choice of propulsion fuel.
CO2 going through 450ppm with no slow-down in sight, and now doing my bit is keeping it real.
During the first oil crisis (Oil was apparently running out) Lockheed had plans for liquid hydrogen fueled Tristars. Not being a dense fuel plus the cryogenic handling problems, but they had to have work-arounds...which seemed reasonable. By strangely, oil became plentiful again, and the plans were shelved....
It's all about the $$
