Amy, RE: Any time the oil companies get wind of alternative energy initiatives, they seemingly lower the gas prices a tad so the alternative sources market doesn't establish sufficient momentum.

Oil and gas is a competitive industry. Nobody can control gasoline prices.

Right now alternative energy sources get huge subsidies to encourage their development. Those subsidies apparently aren't enough. My guess is that you'll need to see much higher gasoline prices if you want to see aggressive development in alternative energy.
