President Joe Biden is proposing a huge tax increase on fuel used by private jets, portraying that as part of an effort to make the wealthy pay their share for services like running the nation's airspace. That's part of the president's budget, which was unveiled Monday. The White House wants $109.3 billion for the Department of Transportation, including the Federal Aviation Administration. One provision would gradually raise the tax on fuel used by private jets from about 22 cents per gallon now to $1.06 per gallon in five years.

The rich are flagrantly burning up carbon just because they can. How can we expect regular folks to make changes to reduce their carbon emissions while billionaires burn more fossil fuel in a few hours of jet travel as most humans create in a year of living?

I parlamentari di Alleanza Verdi Sinistra hanno depositato una proposta di legge per limitare l'uso dei jet privati in Italia. "I capricci di un piccolo gruppo di privilegiati non hanno mai inquinato tanto", ha detto Eleonora Evi, "4 ore di volo in JET privato emettono tanta CO2 quanto un singolo cittadino italiano in un anno intero".
Obviously exemptions of any sort for private jets is absolutely wrong for Carbon Equality, Climate Justice and for emissions.
