Alternative fuels are our future. On this topic there is very little
argument. We, as nations, cannot continue on the path we have been on
if our future generations are to have a planet and infrastructure to
sustain life and happiness as we have known it. Future generations
will be dictated from what we do right now and over the next 2-3
years. We don't have the luxury of studying it anymore. In order for
alternative fuels like bio or hydrogen fuel cells to become
commercially viable we need a market.

The laws of economics take care of this very well if not molested by
politicians. As the price of traditional energy grows the viability of
the alternative becomes more attractive. Once the price of gas hits
the point where there is money to be made on alternatives you will not
be able to stop people and companies from running over each other
racing to provide it. There will be a new gold rush with billions of
dollars to be made in alternative energy; we just need to wait until
the cost becomes viable vs. the cost of traditional fuels. You can
pour billions and billions of gov't dollars into a search for
alternatives but none will do anything until its price competitive. At
that point the market will rush past any gov't research anyway.
