Also in today’s edition: The Interior Department’s fourth approval of a large offshore wind project, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to launch a new review of ozone standards.
In particular, whatever politicans say, the Republican-controlled House has a rider in the FAA authorization bill which requires airports to continue selling leaded fuel for propeller aircraft forever:
The House version of the bill would require airports that receive federal grants to continue selling the same fuels they sold in 2018 in perpetuity.
While the Democratically-controlled Senate requires a phase-out:
The Senate version would require these airports to continue selling the same fuels they sold in 2022, with a sunset date of 2030 or whenever unleaded fuels are “widely available.”

This is only for small aircraft. Lead made my dad dumb as rocks, but I don’t think small plane pilots are seeing long term effects?
Sure it’s stupid to throw it into the air regardless but I imagine it’s going to be the cost of business unless we eat the rich
It’s the kids who live near the airport who suffer, not the pilots.
Any studies to that effect? Capitalists throwing lead into the air of poor people sounds pretty on-brand
Of course there are studies
Thanks mate. The war on the 99% wages on :(
