Okay, I think I've got it. Developing battery-powered aircraft and more efficient engines that minimize fossil fuel use seem like the most practical solutions here. I'll select those two options and move on to the next question.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Discrediting the proposed restrictions on fossil fuels doesn't seem like a very realistic approach. I'll need to think carefully about the other options and try to determine the two best responses.
