Post Year 2045, Tankering whats that???

OK ,Heres everything that I'm not.

1/ a tree hugger.
2/ a member of the socialist green party.
3/ intelligent.

But I was wondering why are we still permitted to Tanker fuel around.(burn fuel to carry fuel)

Admittedly we only burn approx 40kg per 1000kg carried (B737),and yes I know we do it for economical reasons,and I dont ask why airlines pratice this ,but why are airlines allowed to do this.

Various reports suggest that oil reserves will be depleted in 25 to 40 years time.For many of us this period is with in our lifetime and most certainly will impact our kids

I know to tax a Diesel car in Germany costs more than a petrol model,this is an attempt by the German government to curb use of diesel cars because they pollute the air more.Which is one example of smart government in my opinion.In Ireland we use plastic bags to wrap the plastic bag that covers the plastic bag that holds our biscuits.

A visit to the states will afford you the opportunity to drive a 4 or 5 litre car at 60 mph.Whats the point?Its no wonder that california is suffering power shortages with this mentality concerning resource use.

Why are we still burning fuel as if it is going out of fashion,because it is going out of fashion and Fast.

Just wondered,anyone out there with any answers?I think this will be one pratice that our kids will highlight as their parents gross abuse of resourses,along with many other squandering ways we have.

Now wheres that tree I fell like a hug
