Low Wattage Fans



Even Swifties are struggling to defend Taylor’s private jet use

Among the many updates this week on Taylor Swift – Grammy record-breaker, cultural bellwether, billionaire pop star and NFL superfan – is the revelation that she recently offloaded one of her two private jets.

The move to reduce her jumbo-sized carbon footprint was dented, however, when it coincided with news that the singer had brought the heft of her mighty legal team down upon a college student who uses government data and automated bots to track the planet-heating emissions from these private jets, then shares that information on social media.

    To be fair, swifts are renowned for long-distance flight. Africa to Northern Europe and back, every year.

    Are you saying her private jets are fan jets? I had assumed that all modern jet aircraft use fan jets.
