I am sure there are trade offs, to this, like anything else. But I think the quadmire is something like... people want something that produces NO pollution (like hydrogen) and off foreign oil/cheaper fuel. Not nessesarily one or the other.

I think if you want off oil, they could do it more a less, but not nessesarily something all around more dreamy for Greenpeace and environment. So they are trying to find a way to get energy prices down, find something more abundant for oil companies to invest in, and maybe something not so bad on environment. Plus get thousands of companies to do it w/o losing profit share, or going bankrupt.

Without the subsidies isn't it hugely expensive, not very efficient to produce, et al? It just employs a lot of people and keeps states like iowa afloat if I recall correctly.
