Steven O, I'm betting that ethanol becomes VERY economically feasible when oil is at $75+/bbl and gas is at $4 gallon. So just what does Kevin Hassett want the US to do? Continue to pay billions to purchase petroleum at world market prices indefinitely? We need to become more energy independent and H2 is a lot less viable than ethanol as a realistic fuel supply. He doesn't get it that as ethanol becomes more pervasive that the subsidies go away over time. If the infrastructure becomes economically viable then it becomes self sustaining. Much work being done on modified organisms to break down cellulose to its constituent parts so that it can be more efficiently converted to sugars. To put it bluntly, I totally disagree with the Hassett's narrow minded views. BB
