Airplanes still get better miles per gallon per passenger than cars. Besides that, the main problem for SAF isn't really the waste products, but capitalism. There are already quite a few federally approved methods for creating SAF, using anything from municipal solid waste to cellulose. Companies just aren't really willing to make or use it at a large scale, because its going to be more expensive than just regular Jet A.
Admittedly I do have some pro-aviation bias though.
Maybe a bit more than the average person, but not by that much. I don't pilot, planes are expensive. I do spend the majority, or close to it, of my waking hours near an airport, but thats in a building and its mostly jets taking off there.
