We don't need no stinking Arabs

Why We Win!
drummermanrick sent me a link to this video on the alternative fuels front that I think is pretty remarkable. If the Lilliputians who govern us had any forward vision at all, that wasn't apocalyptic, we'd be filling up with 50¢ gas today, secure in the knowledge that by the time, maybe 500 years from now when we would have exhausted oil supplies, we'll have moved way ahead of even needing it. If you want another link to the movie, go here. About 3½ Minutes

The problem of a system like this is that too many of the developers are looking for a government handout in the form of subsidies in order to finance their research. And since the researchers ideas don't fit any the preconceived ideas of the special interest groups that our politicians have so closely tied their careers to that anyone with a new idea has no chance of getting the funds they want.

The second problem is that so much of our energy industry is so heavily government (federal or state) regulated that getting that industry to change the way they do business is almost impossible. Our government leaders are so locked (ideologically and financially) into wind, solar and corn ethanol that if any other alternative shows up that threatens their way of thinking they can't or won't even give the idea a fair trial.

I agree that government regulation is a shackler. We need the market to develop free and clear. Let DuPont, Monsanto, ADM, or startups like this one create new products and let the best one(s) win. Government should stay the hell out the way.
