WOW.....I must have been exhausted yesterday. Those were two horrible errors. I have no idea why I wrote Frontier or why I thought it said Airways. I am a huge commercial aviation buff and I need to get some sleep.
It is easy to see how mass-produced biofuels will have a large impact on the environment. However, it is difficult to think of any energy source processed and used in mass quantities that does not have a negative impact on something else. It is my belief that in the future a variety of alternative energy sources will be used to power our vehicles and infrastructure. As far as the United States is concerned, we can longer depend on Middle Eastern oil to fuel our nation. The partial use of ethanol in our vehicles will at least be a step toward reducing foreign imports. Years from now we could pull up to a "gas station" and have the choice of bio diesel, ethanol, rapid electricity recharge, compressed natural gas or hydrogen. Fossil fuels will not be around forever. I credit automakers for taking a step in the right direction in researching and producing vehicles that can run on alternative fuels.
The commercial aviation industry is currently going through a time period where airlines are desperately seeking an "edge" over their competitors. While other airlines will certainly offer Wi-Fi service in the near future, at the moment this is a competitive advantage for U.S. Airways. U.S Airways is an airline trying its best to successfully merge with Frontier Airlines and Internet service is an excellent marketing tool. The Internet is an essential resource for business travelers as well as the "dot.com" generation of individuals who are obsessed with checking their MySpace and Facebook profiles. Spending so much time on the computer as a student, Wi-Fi would be a great option to make efficient use of my time in the air rather than watching old movies and reading dull magazines. As for the cell phone issue, it is a terrible idea. The noise level in the cabin of hundreds of voices going back and forth with one another would be miserable. However, it is only a matter of time before this scenario will be reality. We are all living in a new generation of dependability on wireless devices. The ability to use those devices while in transit is becoming essential in modern day America.
