CNBC anchor Joe Kernen ripped the meaningless political theater by woke CEOs who pontificate about renewable energy to fight climate change but have no real sense as to how to fully transition away from fossil fuels.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby joined the Feb. 21 edition of CNBC's Squawk Box to cast himself as a patron saint of the growing ESG standards-obsessed movement through his new $100 million sustainable flight fund that seeks to supposedly “decarboniz[e] air travel.” “It’s a first of its kind,” Kirby propagandized. “We’re not just buying sustainable aviation fuel [SAF]. We’re really investing in the technology, the R&D, the companies that are trying to build this industry because this industry doesn’t really exist today.” He even praised President Joe Biden’s multibillion-dollar, inflation-stimulating Inflation Reduction Act as making “hundreds of potential [SAF] projects feasible that weren't feasible before.” Uh, what? In Kirby’s estimation, “This is all about trying to change the supply and change the economics.” Kernen wasn’t buying it, and implied that what Kirby was doing was the equivalent of simply sticking “your toe in the water” to make his company seem woke.

So the reporter thinks the CEO is not woke enough?
This turns my stomach.
WHO wants to FLY with an Affirmative Action PILOT???
That is the guy that promised to have 50% minority & Women pilots.
I’ll be flying American from now on. Thanks.
I have not been on a united flight in 30 years and I can guarantee I will not be on one over the next 30 which would put me past my use by date.
United jets as lawn darts?
As I see it the real problem for those of us who will not fly the friendly sky’s of United, is where those lawn darts come down.
No, just Kernen was highlighting how the CEO is not serious. Kirby just wants to be woke and and Kernen was pointing out that transitioning fully away from fossil fuels is just a ridiculous notion.
Fly the deadly skies of United.
Thank you

Not sure if it was Tucker last night or some other someone talking about a black three striper that went through training a second time after all of his original graduating class had done so and moved on.
Gifted with high anxiety and limited flying skills. The pictures of aircraft pieces littering the landscape was the legacy of said “pilot” taking two other pilots with him into the marshland.
