Joe Biden on Friday burned 3,866 lbs of jet fuel to fly 72 miles aboard Air Force One to deliver a speech in Hagerstown, Maryland.
Biden’s 40-minute flight to Hagerstown burned about 3,886 lbs of jet fuel as he traveled in a Boeing 757 aircraft, which burns roughly 5,800 lbs of fuel per hour if the aircraft is traveling at the average speed of 598 miles per hour at 35,000 ft, according to Aviation Insider. Biden’s trip to Maryland produced over 12,000 lbs of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis.

Biden produced CO2 emissions equivalent to driving 13,678 miles in an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions calculator. A 72-mile journey in the average passenger road vehicle would emit only 58 lbs of carbon emissions as the average car has a fuel efficiency of 24.2 miles per gallon, according to a DCNF analysis.
...
Biden declared on Thursday that radical changes were needed in order to “literally save the planet” from climate change
...
Biden also said in July that the “climate crisis,” caused by carbon emissions is “literally an existential threat” to both the U.S. and the world. The Biden administration is continuing to push its aggressive climate goals that seek to phase out gas-powered cars as well as block oil and gas drilling on federal lands.
In September, Biden flew Air Force One to Delaware to vote in the state’s Democratic primary and produced roughly 16,641 lbs of CO2 emissions in the process.
The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
I don’t know what the plane burned but going 72 miles it didn’t climb to 35000 feet or hit 500plus mph. Also I thought AF One was a 747.
The plant sent home all the Trump supporters, with pay, so there was hardly anyone left when PedoJoe O’Biden got there.
‘Cuz he’s the Big Guy.
Crazy place for him to come, anyway.
There are STILL Trump signs everywhere.
I270/I70 on a Friday is a slow motion parking lot.
Even The Big Guy with his motorcade and escort wouldn’t have gotten through and I reckon all those peons sitting in traffic would’ve been livid if he’d imperiously sailed westward while they sat immobile for hours.
Would’ve caused a spontaneous Trump rally on the highway.
;D
Odds are the took the long way around rather than a straight flight.
Probably used much more money than anyone calculated.
AF1 is traditionally the 747, but the AF1 designation is any airplane hauling the President.
When Trump was doing his rally’s, he’d frequently use the smaller 757 aircraft for the shorter flights or smaller airports.
“Odds are the took the long way around rather than a straight flight.“
I guess. Low and slow for AF1 isn’t a good idea.
It’ll be fine when O’Biden converts it to electric or goes full potato and uses a glider.
:)
I can just picture 90 miles on AF 1
Seats belts on/seat belts off/seat belts back on/seat belts off.
In what? Like 13 minutes??
;D
Burns a heck of a lot more than that to get off the ground and up to air speed for travel. I bet it burned three times that amount.
Hillary flew on a jet from Martha’s Vineyard to Nantucket about 25 miles during one of her campaigns a few years ago.
They all do it.
The rest of the workers left at lunch time.
People who work there are on the Herald Mail forum dishing the truth
Was her broom in the shop for repairs?

Neil is a truly great guy, like Andy Harris. Donate and vote for him, Marylanders!
That’s the small one. 757

A friend of mine used to pilot that particular jet
Screw the 16,641 lbs of CO2 emissions I’m the king don’t question me.
Not surprising. Biden’s entire campaign for President was managed like that. As he’s declining rapidly now, they’ll just increase the same management.
