Dangerous Fossil Fueled Aircraft. America's Existing Bombers.

Believe it or not, this is just one of the dangerous fossil fueled aircraft that spew dangerous fossil fuel waste around the world in an uncontrolled fashion.

1. Ever look at the gas mileage of an M-1 Abrams tank?
The military is pretty much exempt from environmental rules. I wonder at what point, if we do manage to curtail greenhouse gas emissions from all parts of the civilian economy, the stupendously fuel-inefficient military machine becomes by far the dominant roadblock to further progress.
