re: Israel worries the government could further derail alternative energy's progress by not allowing the marketplace to determine which technologies will come to the forefront and instead picking its own favorites to promote and fund.

That's my concern as well. Ethanol is probably not the ultimate solution for passenger cars (though it might be for other energy clients) but the farm lobby and representatives from farm states will certainly push that solution.

That's why I think you tax and incent the clients based on gasoline/oil use. It's technology agnostic... you give purchase incentives to ethanol, plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles, even super-efficient gasoline passenger cars, based on gasoline use per mile. The marketplace will decide the best solution (which I suspect is all electric).
