Maybe it will work if gasoline gets up to $10 a gallon.

Gee you sound like those who were against the motorcar. And those
farmers who said that the tractor could NEVER take the place of a
workhorse. There were probably cavemen who thought that damned new thing
called fire would never work!

I agree it "works" it is just too expensive to make a go of it.

Shale oil was too expensive to compete in a 99 cent a gallon gasoline
market too but once we got it over $3 shale oil looks good to us (or
at least the Canadians who are developing it)

Typically, new technology becomes lower in price as time and ingenuity
take their course.

Biomass is not new technology. The government has been pouring money
into it for 40 years.

Oh, man, you've watched way too much FOX. I'd guess that there's no new
technology in airplanes because they've been around since the Wright
Brothers, eh?
