She would look pretty good on an oar next to Ben Hur on a Roman Galley. Nothing but a loincloth and a boob belt.
RAMMING SPEED!

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday said greenhouse gases from aircraft endanger human health, taking the first step toward regulating emissions from the domestic aviation industry.
The EPA's endangerment finding kicks off a process to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation industry, the latest sector to be regulated under the Clean Air Act after cars, trucks and large stationary sources like power plants.

I’ll presume, for tin foil sake, this does not apply to contrails.
Is the EPA out to kill all industries or is it just making rules to expand its influence? If Congress doesn’t start doing its sworn duty, the EPA will have us using nothing but stone tools pretty soon.
There, I fixed it.
The EPA is becoming the 4th branch of gov’t.
When last I checked, our spy planes used a fuel additive - chlorofluorosufonic acid - to suppress the tell-tale contrails.
This injects chlorine and fluorine, both known ozone destroyers, directly into the upper atmosphere.
OTHO, we peons are not allowed to use freons to keep chlorine and fluorine from damaging the ozone layer...
It’s high time they replace Air Force 1 with a Tier 4-compliant sea kayak.
The aircraft has a bay outboard of each of the main landing gear that was originally supposed to store contrail-suppression chemicals but was never used. The two bays are about 2.75 meters (9 feet) long and are as deep as the wing. The original B-2 design included tanks outboard of the main landing gear that would store a chemical to mix with the exhaust and suppress contrail formation. According to one report, “chlorofluorosulphonic acid” was to be injected into the jet exhaust to eliminate contrails. But this scheme wasn’t actually used. Several other acids were tested too, but the result was that the chemicals were too corrosive.
It seems that “chlorofluorosulphonic acid” is unobtainium, as the term only occurs in a few articles about stealth. Possibly what is meant is “chloro fluoro sulfone” which goes by the IUPAC name “Sulfuryl chloride fluoride” [ClF O2 S]. This compound is employed as a solvent for highly oxidizing compounds, and reacts violently with water.
Sulfonic acid has a sulfur atom bonded to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbon and bonded also to three oxygen atoms, one of which has been attached to a hydrogen atom. Sulfonic acid is acidic due to the hydrogen atom, stronger than a carboxylic acid.

How about bringing back the Viking Longboat. Michelle would look pretty cute standing on the bow the ship wearing a Viking Helmet and brandishing a Viking staff.
Doesn’t matter. The EPA is trying to find a big enough cork to hammer into the engine exhaust.
Congress is full of grifters. They will listen to all industry complaints when they see the money.
When will they start worrying about methane from swamps or CO2 from rotting wood and leaves in the forests?

Better Idea
“She would loo”k pretty good on an oar next to Ben Hur on a Roman Galley.” “Nothing but a loincloth and a boob belt.”
Not a pretty picture, what do you think?
I like it.
