Virgin Atlantic runs first transatlantic passenger flight powered by alternative fuels Virgin Atlantic's Flight100 landed in New York on Tuesday, making the journey from London without using fossil fuels, thanks to a mix of renewable biomass and waste fats. This "sustainable aviation fuel" reportedly reduces life-cycle emissions by up to 70 percent but still emits CO2, as FRANCE 24's Bryan Quinn explains. Also in this edition, a new Greenpeace report shows how automakers' sales of SUVs are offsetting their transition to electric. Plus, London's black cabs bury the hatchet with Uber.
