Ika MakimakiHere's a free idea:
No refuelling private jets. ✈️
No matter what price they can afford.
Should be an obvious step 0 in a fuel crisis.
But we wouldn't ever do anything to inconvenience the ultra rich, would we?

jonathankoren™@pezmico Iran should start droning private jets

bencourtice@pezmico I was in favour of letting them take off then shooting them down, but the current war has educated me on how expensive SAMs are, so I'll go with your idea
Thomas Lee ✅ 
@pezmico better yet, just tax key fuel for any turbine aircraft holding 12 seats or less. Tax at 200%
@DoctorDNS @pezmico cargo planes
João Tiago Rebelo (NAFO J-121)@DoctorDNS they can pay those, they stole enough money for it. Zero fuel for them, let them walk/swim to their destinations. @pezmico

JustSayingWe SHOULD be banning
Fueling Private Jets, Boats, and Cars unless public transport isn't great in your area.
Unfortunately that would mean 95% of NZ wouldn't have fueling of cars banned
mahadevank@pezmico totally agree - in today's connected world I can't imagine why folks need to travel to meet

Harald@pezmico Sounds great. I am with you.
Except: define "private jet".
Those use their corporate jets instead. Execution would not be as easy as we might wish.
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)Here’s a definition that I think could work: Fuel is permitted only for flights running on regular scheduled routes where all tickets are available for sale via a non-discriminatory process.
This would exclude corporate and personal jets (not on a regular scheduled route) and charter flights (tickets are available only to the people who bought the flight, unless chartered by a holiday company, in which case they’re permitted).
But there’s a simpler allow-list approach. Airlines require regulatory approval to operate on each route (and, in some cases, receive subsidy). Flights on regulator-approved routes get fuel, no one else does.

Bartosz@pezmico What if people were given CO2 emission limits by dividing country allowance amongst citizens?
no emission allowance for the corporations, equal allowance regardless of wealth... want to spend it - need to have it. Want your country to have bigger allowance, you need better nature and CO2 capture that actually works.

MinmiTheDino@pezmico yachts too. You should have to be under a certain maximum of fuel per person-km before you get to be refueled.
