Private jets still aren't banned. How about we start with that? But oh, we don't want to inconvenience the rich.
why minimum price and not a higher carbon tax?
wouldn't a minimum price mean airlines can't sell of tickets to half full flight extra cheaply, meaning more half full flights?
Half full flights leads to less flights overall. As the airlines try to optimise to demand. Making lots of cheap tickets would increase demand.
