Njengomzabalazo wenqwelomoya wokuhambisa umoya, iijets zabucala ziyaqhuma ngendleko zoluntu

Njengoko abantu baseMelika belungiselela ukuhlawula imali eyongezelelweyo kwiibhegi ezitshekishwayo, linda kwimigca emide, kwaye unyamezele iinqwelomoya ezixineneyo zorhwebo kweli hlobo, abanini bejethi yabucala abazizityebi kakhulu bonwabele ikhefu lerhafu kunye nobunewunewu ngeendleko zoluntu. "Iiflaya eziPhakamileyo: Ukuhamba kweJet yaBucala kukuNxinzelela njani inkqubo, ukufudumeza iplanethi, kunye neendleko zakho zemali," ingxelo entsha evela kwiZiko leZifundo zoMgaqo-nkqubo kunye neNtshukumo eBalulekileyo, ibhentsisa iimpembelelo zenqwelomoya yabucala kwinkqubo yokuthuthwa kweenqwelo moya, ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni. , kunye nabahambi bemihla ngemihla.

"Ngelixa ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya kuye kwabiza kakhulu, kungakhululeki kwaye kuthoba isidima sethu sonke, iklasi ekhulayo yabantu baseMelika abazizityebi bakhulisa i-boom kwiijethi zabucala kwaye babhabha phezulu kwikhefu lerhafu," utshilo uChuck Collins, umphengululi omkhulu kwiziko. kwiZifundo zoMgaqo-nkqubo kunye nomnxibelelanisi weQela eliSebenzayo ngokungalingani okugqithisileyo. “Ukwanda kweejethi zabucala kuneendleko zokwenyani kubahlawuli berhafu, abaninizabelo, nakubahambi ngenqwelomoya mihla le. Ezi flaya ziphezulu azihlali nje zinkulu ngelungelo lazo, zisongela okusingqongileyo, ukhuseleko, kunye nomanyano lwelizwe lethu, ngeendleko zethu. ”

Ngokwengxelo, ebhalwe ngokudibeneyo nguCollins, uSarah Anderson, kunye noDedrick Muhammad weZiko leZifundo zoMgaqo-nkqubo, kunye noSamuel Bollier noRobert Weissman we-Essential Action, ishumi leminyaka elidluleyo libone ugqabhuko-dubulo olungazange lubonwe ngaphambili kwijethi yabucala yokuhamba eUnited States. Phakathi kowama-2003 nowama-2007 kuphela, ukuthengiswa kweejethi zabucala minyaka le ehlabathini lonke kuphindeke kabini ukuya kutsho kwi-US$19.4 billion.

“Ijethi yabucala ezizityebi kakhulu itshintshela kuthi amaxabiso okuzikeka kwawo okubhabha phezulu,” watsho njalo umbhali wengxelo uRobert Weissman, umalathisi weEssential Action. “Bangcolisa ngaphezu kwabakhweli ngenqwelomoya, kodwa abahlawuli. Abahlawuli isabelo esifanelekileyo seendleko zabo zokulawula ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya. Kwaye baye bakhohlisa ikhowudi yerhafu ukuze sonke sixhase iindleko zokuthenga ijethi yabucala. ”

Ngokutsho kwengxelo, abahambi be-jet yabucala bahlawula irhafu ephantsi kunye neefizi kunabahambi abaqhelekileyo bezorhwebo, nangona le nqwelo-moya ye-elite itshisa i-carbon ephindwe kahlanu kuneenqwelo-moya zorhwebo.

Kulo nyaka, indawo yokwamkela iindwendwe yejethi yabucala iphumelele esinye isaphulelo serhafu esikhethekileyo kubathengi beenqwelo-moya ezintsha njengenxalenye yoMthetho ka-2008 we-Economic Stimulus Act. Iingcali ziqikelela ukuba oku akuzukunceda ukutsiba uqoqosho, kwaye kunokwenza ubushushu behlabathi bube mandundu.

Abaphathi beenkampani benza umqolo kubathengi bejethi yabucala. “Yinto eqhelekileyo kule mihla ukuba iibhodi zeefemu ezinkulu zifune ukuba ii-CEO zisebenzise iijethi zabucala kulo lonke uhambo, kubandakanywa neeholide zobuqu,” ucacise watsho umbhali-mbhali uSarah Anderson, iZiko leZifundo zoMgaqo-nkqubo. "Babanga ukuba oku kuyimfuneko ngenxa yezizathu zokhuseleko, kodwa ezi zinto ngumzekelo nje omnye wokugqithisela kwesigqeba."

Iiflaya zabucala azikho phantsi kwemithetho yokhuseleko esebenza kubahambi abarhwebayo, umngcipheko weSebe loKhuseleko lweLizwe eliwuvumayo ukuba awukhange uqwalaselwe phantse iminyaka esixhenxe emva kwe-9/11.

Ingxelo yeeFlyers eziPhakamileyo igxeka ukungasebenzi kukarhulumente ekubambeni igesi, ijethi zabucala ezixineneyo esibhakabhakeni, kunye neeFlyers ezityebileyo eziphezulu eziphepha izithintelo zokhuseleko, iindleko zekhabhoni, kunye neerhafu.

“Ukwanda okukhawulezayo kokuhamba ngejethi yabucala kuhambisane nokungalingani okukhulayo kwengeniso kunye nobutyebi kwilizwe lethu. Kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini idlulileyo, uninzi lokukhula komvuzo kunye nempahla yexabiso liye laya kutsho kwezona zindlu zizityebi ngepesenti enye yemizi – kwaye ngaphakathi koko, isinye kwishumi lepesenti enye,” itshilo ingxelo. "Ukwanda kohambo lwejethi yabucala luphawu loku kungalingani kugqithisileyo ... Ukungalingani ekufuneka kulungiswe ukuba siza kuphinda sakhe uqoqosho olusebenzela abantu baseMelika abasebenzayo."

Ingxelo incoma ukubeka "irhafu yokunethezeka" kwiijethi zabucala kunye nokulungisa isakhiwo senkxaso-mali ye-FAA ukufuna iijethi zabucala ukuba zihlawule isabelo sazo seendleko. Ababhali babiza iCongress ukuba iqinise iimfuno zokhuseleko kwiijethi zangasese. Ingxelo icebisa ukuba iinkxaso-mali zikarhulumente ezichithwe ekulungiseni izikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezincinci ezisebenzela ubukhulu becala iijethi zabucala zingatyalwa ngcono kuloliwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu njengenye indlela yokuhamba ngomoya omfutshane.
