As for ethanol, which you cite, if it's so splendid an alternative, one would think that ADM could survive without such lavish corporate welfare.
You shouldn't hold pork-politics against a technology. Ethanol *is* a great fuel from a number of angles, but it *is* (currently) more expensive than petrol. There are a number of fuel sources like that, just waiting to become desirable if/when petrol prices rise. (Modulo the inertia of conversion costs and distribution problems.) dh
