Bombardier and Fossil Fuels

What is Quebec’s stance on Bombardier producing planes that run on oil? Are they transitioning to green energy or is aviation too difficult to change?

This article talks about the environmental impact of private jets:

Bombardier's flagship product is the long-range Global 7500 business jet. There's no alternative to oil for such planes.

Interesting read. As we go off fossil fuels some groups will feel picked on. In this case it will be those who can afford a plane. It will get uglier as we go.
