SUMMARY:Stop Private Jet Expansion Rally
DESCRIPTION:Let’s expose “Sustainable” Aviation Fuels (SAFs) as FRANKENFUELS – the “green” fuels that will come to haunt us!  SAFs don’t justify private jet expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere! \n\n\n\nIt’s rally time\, friends! \n\n\n\nYou’re welcome to – \n\n\n\n\nWear your SPJE t-shirt (or order one here!)\n\n\n\nShow up in your most ghoulish Frankenfuel outfit!\n\n\n\nMake your own SAF protest sign – here are ideas!\n\n\n\n\nLet’s make a statement — visually and vocally! \n\n\n\nFeatured Speakers: Join Senator Mike Barrett\, Chuck Collins\, and Claire Karl Muller for a powerful event on the Massachusetts State House steps as we expose the myth of so-called “Sustainable Aviation Fuels” (SAFs) and say NO to private jet expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere.Click here for more details.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOctober 14th Rally Schedule: \n\n\n\n10:30 AM – Rally begins on the State House steps with speakers12:00 PM – Join us as at the Govenor’s Office as we present our letter urging MA lawmakers to reject SAF policy and subsidies.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Details & RSVP: \n\n\n\n Click here to RSVP + Get Directions\, T Info & Parking Tips \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSAFs are a flawed and false climate solution — \n\n\n\n\nSAFs will not reduce carbon emissions\n\n\n\nSAFs will overwhelm the energy grid\n\n\n\nSAFs will divert public resources from options with far higher CO2 reductions — like fully decarbonizing the electric\n\n\n\nSAFs will lead to food insecurity\, deforestation\, fraudulent use of raw materials mislabeled as “waste”\n\n\n\n\nSAFs are marketed as a climate fix—but they’re based on flawed science and industry hype. From crop-based fuels that take land from food to CO2-intensive production\, SAFs are just another false solution in the Big Polluters’ Playbook: \n\n\n\nAND NOW: “Sustainable” Aviation Fuel \n\n\n\n“Clean coal” \n\n\n\n“Fracked gas as a bridge fuel” \n\n\n\n“Forest management” (aka logging) \n\n\n\nEthanol as “green” gas for cars \n\n\n\nCigarette filters for “healthy” smoking
