NRDC urges U.S. and Canadian airlines to favor renewable energy over dirty fuel. When it comes to scrutiny over carbon emissions, the airline industry has long gotten a free ride. That ride, however, is due for a landing. Global warming pollution from planes is expected to increase 60 percent by 2025, meaning airlines can no longer be exempt from carbon reduction efforts.
