Biodiesel is pretty clean. So is ethanol. Clean enough that if they know the risks going and and know to manage them, then they should be able to manage their carbon footprints fairly effectively. Can you imagine a steam locomotive made with modern boiler technology and fired with biodiesel?
Also, I'm pretty sure that a magitech method for producing both in vast quantities from waste biomatter (ie, corn husks, stalks, etc) can be figured out.
Oh, and Garrick teaches them about hydroponics. Why? Imagine pegasi growing crops in the clouds.
EDIT: Oh, hai there Bluemage!
Ah, no. No real expanding of the harem here. Though the departure is gonna hurt a bit. It's more or less what Garrick was afraid of - tearful goodbyes and laments over friends lost. Although I'm working on an idea... Katherine leaving seeds behind that wind up sprouting... and since they're her seeds she can maintain a line of communication between them all, and potentially serve as guides for future dimensional travel.
