No referenced article used; all original thought. I work in the transportation business related to aviation.
And another thought I didn't include is that even if a new high-density-to-weight ratio fuel was developed for jets that didn't depend on the petroleum industry for production (which would mean probably a new type of propulsion system) the transition to it would take decades. The transition would be long due to making the economics work and getting the new system flight certified. The FAA takes a really long time to adopt new technology because they run it through an extensive safety evaluation process. Switching to an entirely new propulsion system would be a huge undertaking for the FAA.
