It's Not Easy Being Green -- Sometimes
Well, as I noted in a previous blog post, it seems Wal-Mart is trying to tell China (or at least the company's suppliers in China) what to do with regard to green technology, and now it seems the airline industry here in the US is feeling the same pinch, this time from Europe. According to this article from Wired Magazine, the EU has set up some new legislation regulating carbon emissions by airlines traveling within Europe, but it doesn't stop there. The laws also affect any airlines that travel to and from Europe as well, meaning American air carriers are going to have to get on board, whether they like it or not. If they refuse, they will be barred from flying to Europe.
Needless to say, US air carriers are unhappy. Hmm, Wal-Mart bullying the Chinese, the EU bullying the airlines, I wonder if this is what Al Gore had in mind?
