They're elegant,
efficient, exciting, and require very little infrastructure. Airships have the
potential to be more efficient than airplanes, cars, and even passenger trains
and barges.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/212/three-airships-that-may-fly-you-to-europe-someday.html"><P>In a carbon-conscious world, passenger flight is difficult
to rationalize. But we've got to get from point A to point B -- there are
births, funerals, weddings, and graduations to attend. Right now, there's no
alternative to traditional heavier-than-air travel.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/212/three-airships-that-may-fly-you-to-europe-someday.html"><P>Here are three airships that have a good chance at changing
that:</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/212/three-airships-that-may-fly-you-to-europe-someday.html"><P><STRONG>The Aeroscraft<BR /> <IMG width="468" height="183" src="http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/mu/Green_EcoGeek/aeroscraft2.jpg" /></STRONG><BR /> Aeroscraft comes first because it seems both more ambitious
and farther along in development than the others. As lighter-than-air (LTA)
craft are completely subject to the weather when not under their own
propulsion, low-speed control is a big deal. Aeroscraft has kept that in its
sights. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/212/three-airships-that-may-fly-you-to-europe-someday.html"><P><STRONG>The SkyCat<BR /> <IMG width="468" height="183" src="http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/mu/Green_EcoGeek/skycat.jpg" /></STRONG></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/212/three-airships-that-may-fly-you-to-europe-someday.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/green.yahoo.com/img/3726AE79-43D1-45F0-B509-D600910125FA" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/212/three-airships-that-may-fly-you-to-europe-someday.html">But they're still planning for a possible U.S. to Canada LTA shipping route. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/763E1C49-12E6-4564-BC40-A4A3BB3AE619/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
