On a more serious note, the government does not have to directly subsidize an industry to encourage the development of alternative fuel technology. There can be tax incentives to companies or consumers for adopting and developing energy conserving policies or technologies. A case can also be made, whereby, such a paramount and strategic national interest as breaking away from our reliance upon Mideast oil should be a role the US government should actively pursue as its responsibility in the maintenance of a militia to protect American citizens.
