The plan to make air travel more expensive has hit yet another snag.
AFP (9/3/25) reports: "British oil giant Shell announced today it has abandoned construction of one of Europe’s largest biofuel plants in the Netherlands, as it focuses on its fossil fuels business. Faced with weak market conditions, the company last year suspended construction of the renewables biofuel factory in Rotterdam that was intended to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and diesel from waste. 'As we evaluated market dynamics and the cost of completion, it became clear that the project would be insufficiently competitive,' Machteld de Haan, Shell’s downstream, renewables and energy solutions president, said in a statement."

"The Trump administration is trying to combat the epidemic of municipalities and state governments turning to the courts for political grievances. Earlier this year, the president issued an executive order defining such complaints as threats to national security, and the Justice Department filed lawsuits in an effort to prevent Hawaii and Michigan from pursuing such claims in court. The abuse of our judicial system to achieve partisan political ends is out of control, and judges must put a stop to it. The judicial branch is designed to adjudicate laws, not serve as a backup venue for policy losers in the legislative branch."
