The notion that in such a polarized, anything-goes political climate any legislation would be a “100 percent” guarantee seems grandiose.Specify the legislation is on climate-related fuel emissions? To put it mildly, that will not improve the bill’s odds...

Tumbling first-class passenger numbers and a ballooning fuel bill left the airline with a $656 million pretax loss in the 12 months ending March 31.

While many speculate that this is an unattainable goal, no one can argue that we need to take better care of our planet. Go “green” this year and give presents that give back to the environment. Help cut down on fuel consumption by forgoing plastic water bottles—it takes 1.5 billion barrels of oil per year to meet America?...
