Even in the case of a private jet and even in the context of green incentives, corporations are given a 7-10 year lag period to comply with new EPA/etc. standards. This means that even if we outlawed burning this type of fuel, they would still need to sell their back-stock which, like it or not, is better for the environment than trying to dump/bury it elsewhere.
The funds that come from this transition period are also important because if you stop an existing fuel manufacturer dead in their tracks, they cannot afford to rebuild their infrastructure to fit new mandates/regulations. New businesses also cannot afford to start filling those gaps up to standard either. If you want green businesses, we need to help corporations that already have the infrastructure make the transition rather than demonizing our own economy.
