Plane Problem
Bud Selig a problem with his private plane. The plane landed safely, and no one was hurt luckily.
I do find it a bit amusing that Selig flies out of Mitchell Airport. I also wonder if people are going to start complaining about Bud wasting fuel by flying an energy hog private jet instead of a commercial airliner.
The Baseball Musings pledge drive continues through March. Please consider making a donation.
The green leaders are in the glass house, Gore and his Hollywood crew all roll in private jets. Bad practice, but it is hard for anyone to get on the Baseball Commish when he is following the lead of the High Priest of Warming.
right, the first thing people will think of is the greenhouse gases. Not that a man whose business is to plead the poverty of his league in order to gain public funding of stadiums is ferried around the country in private aircraft, a perk shared by several MLB executives.
The entire airline industry accounts for about 11% of all greenhouse gases. Somewhere on the order of 80 billion liters of jet fuel are consumed per year. One private jet consumes a proportional amount of fuel as one private car consumes gasoline. If a private citizen makes enough to afford it, then they should be free to buy it.
