What will happen to aeroplanes when we eventually run ouf of jet fuel?>inb4 it's infinite and we will always have itokay schizo, but what if we do run out off itCan't really make electric planes because of third law
the remaining fuel will be hoarded for military use and you will travel on the ground like the animal you are or work from home
You know you can make equivalent fuels just from plants and stuff, right? It's just more expensive.
>>16926243>work from homeI'm the kind who likes to work from home
By then we'll have cold fusion and you can just use infinite electricity to freely convert CO2 in the air directly into liquid hydrocarbons.
>>16926242There's effectively infinite fuel for airplane uses, flying is so useful that airplanes will be able to outbid everyone else for the remaining oil. We can also just make more fuel with solar panels, co2 from the air and water.

>>16926246it's ironic that cold fusion would effectively bankrupt the entire middle east, which should be a good thing but with most modern western governments it'd just mean an influx of a billion muslim "refugees"
>>16926242>Can't really make electric planes because of third lawhave you ever heard of this thing called a propeller?
>>16926256We made them with the artificial influx of wealth. People are supposed to be united so the resource movements are unified.
>>16926242Unless battery energy density drastically increases we'll have to use crop ethanol for planes.
>>16926256Wind, solar and nuclear combined with EVs could bankrupt the ME, few countries are willing to do that because it also bankrupts massive political donors.
>>16926257>as slow as buses but guaranteed 100% death if something is fuckedYeah, no. Even trains are better than slow planes.
Fertilizer manufacturing would end, so they can't afford to make biofuel.
>>16926272In the future, you will eat nothing but tasteless carbon gel coagulated from atmospheric CO2 using cheap cold fusion energy.
>>16926276I was thinking about carbonating a drink by processing the atmosphere, but there's not enough CO2 and chemical reactions from powders aren't cheaper than buying soda. The electromagnetic forces could be woven to remove particles.
>>16926294>there's not enough CO2tell that to plants
>>16926297Plants eat carbon from the dirt.
>>16926298>this is what europeans actually believe
It's not difficult at all to make artificial fuel for example with nuclear energy.The reason why we don't it's just because it's too expensive compared to refine fossils.
>>16926242>run ouf of jet fuel?hydrocarbons (all jet fuel, gasoline, diesel can be made from carbon dioxide and water vapor in the air. One only needs an energy source, something like solar, nuclear or hydro (water going through a dam). Google e-diesel or search the Audi website for details. Audi is already doing this, though not yet for jet fuel.
imagine being the company that gets the perpetual patent on 3d printing gasoline from air
>burn coal to generate electricity to turn atmospheric CO2 into coal
>>16926343>do this>but obtain government green energy grants to make it incredibly lucrative
>Can't really make electric planes because of third lawTheoretically you can use any propellant other than combustion gases or whatever.It is even fair for basic jet engines, where the largest proportion (by weight ejected) of propellant is basically air from the environment.Heat this air to thousands of Kelvins with any electric mechanism other than fuel burning, and that's it.
