An interesting article at Wired Magazine (online) talks about using Cellulosic Ethanol to mitigate our dependence on foreign oil. This is definitely worth a read. The primary road block to using this alternative fuel is cost. The simple solution - raise the cost of foreign oil! I have talked about cost being the motivating factor behind most all that we do, and this is simply one more case where that proves to be true. Unfortunately, it is political suicide to even hint at a whisper of mentioning anything related to increasing the cost of foreign oil through increased taxes. That being said, I doubt we will see cellulosic ethanol based fuel on the horizon for quite some time.
