Susima says: I think this is a ridiculous idea.

The article below says: "Continental, Boeing and GE will work together and with an undisclosed fuel provider to identify sustainable fuel sources that don’t impact food crops, water resources or contribute to deforestation."

How much crops will be needed to fuel these planes? I don't think we will have enough land and fertiliser to produce the amount of crops for fuel to fly airplanes. This idea won't fly.
