ZEPPELIN LIVES!
Back in the drug fueled free lovin’ 1970’s Led Zeppelin belted out the tune “The Song Remains The Same”, if what this Winnipeg Free Press article said comes about those words will ring true once again.
According to the article it appears that dirigibles, as in the blimps of Goodyear fame, are on the comeback and will be the way of the future for air cargo transport. Sad to think, but the next giant leap forward for mankind may because of a radical rethinking of air supply.
Anything is worth a try, I mean what’s the worst that could happen? The author writes that airship transportation would be cheaper and wouldn’t produce those nasty greenhouse gases that cause global warming, which should make the tree huggers happy (all together now “Imagine there is no Greenhouse Gas producing mass air transportation, it’s easy if you try”).
I’m no crazy-assed diaper wearing NASA scientist so I really don’t know if this viable or that that this “new” idea will produce less GHG or not, but if it revives the tradition of great looking album covers (CD covers to you kids) and rock n’ roll poster art I’m all for it –link, link , link , link , and link.
BTW – Zeppelin still lives.
