It would work

"Slow towing aircraft can provide real headaches and there is no doubt that, overall, things would slow down."
If all aircraft were towed, the departures would still be same as now. It would just take a little longer to get there.
If 3/min go to the hold at 20 mph under their own steam, or at 10mph by tractor, they'll still be released at the same rate.
It would work.
However I'm sceptical of this whole global warming thing. 30 years ago we were going to freeze. Its a natural cycle. The Leftie Greenies need some way to have a dig at the west and of course the "great Satan"!!!
Anyone seen C4's The Great Global Warming Swindle"? see http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...31355859226455
Yes it has an agenda as well but it gave me food for thought esp the ex Greenpeace founder!
Can anyone get the stats for the amount of motor fuel used in ,say, the UK vs the amount of aviation fuel?
