Letter: Wishing for aviation's green revolution

Published 13 March 2024

From Richard Hind, Chapel Haddlesey, North Yorkshire, UK

I read your story on making jet fuel from carbon dioxide and it struck me that for this to succeed commercially, all it needs is a place that can generate lots of clean energy, has capital to invest in the infrastructure and has a need to replace an oil-dependent economy. I hope it really is that simple (24 February, p 12).
