I'm thinking bio-fuel is fine, at least in the piston engines. I don't know about bio-jet-fuel, but I don't like the contrails in any case.

Roger. Mostly cigar shape, but some delta-wing experiments I think as well as spheres. Let me know what you find.

Me too. Hope is all that's keeping me alive...that and a little breathing from time to time.

I'm not familiar with that Skype thingy, but if it saves energy and doesn't pollute as much as otherwise, then rock on.
Then there is the over ocean jet travel.
That's gotta go.
Large piston planes, our airships or go by sailing ship (OT: some hybrid like Cousteaus
Alcyone perhaps? )
In the mean time, we need to cut out all the uneccessary jet flights. Yeah, I'm talking to you John Travolta!!
