Hi,

Quote:The US will follow when the economics (price/gallon) make any fuel cheaper than oil to produce.

Slight correction: since the energy density of different fuels is different, a better measure would be price/mile.

Quote:Currently, without government tax credits, no bio-fuel is cheaper now. In fact, sometimes I wonder if the tax credits will only confuse the issue and we will end up building the wrong energy infrastructure.

Oh, now. Where's your faith? Can the government back the wrong technology? :P

Kidding aside, I already see some problems. Like supporting corn as the raw material instead of using the native grasses. The farmers like it, because they can get the fuel makers bidding against the hog risers. The USDA likes it because it understands corn.

Yeah, I fear you are right. The correct thing will e done in inverse proportion to governmental mandates, incentives and restrictions. After all, progress and congress *are* opposites.
