We haven't had a fight about global warming for a while.
Even if environmentally friendly biofuel wasn't enough of an oxymoron, a 5% biofuel flight is no more than a half baked publicity stunt. The use of a B747 to Amsterdam? Sure it took off with a few cups of coconut oil in one of the tanks, what are the odds any of it will see an injector nozzle?
But, being a typically Bransonesque maneuver, I expect it'll fool enough poor saps into flying good old Virgin, which (in the sure knowledge that it will have no positive environmental impact if not a negative one) is essentially the unspoken aim of the exercise.
Or maybe I'm just being too cynical, again?
