Been lurking for a while. In regards to the jet fuel discussion. turbine aircraft (like most helicopters) use jet fuel which I know is similar enough to diesel that you can use it in a diesel engine and I imagine vise versa. smaller propeller driven airplanes use av gas which I think someone was referring to earlier and I don't know as much about that but I'm pretty sure it's just sort of a higher octane gasoline.
Most large generators run on diesel so it's a possibility there could be tankers full of it, depending on the mallers intentions. Which would also work well for the helicopter idea.
Awesome podcast by the way.
