If passengers are that concerned with their "Carbon Footprints", they could ride a horse or bicycle. Next up, returning to the 1880s, with wood burning ("renewable energy") boilers powering steam locomotives.

Talk about a troll-bait story. Time to put on the asbestos suits and wait for the fireworks.
