As the price of oil rises all alternatives (including biofuels) become more competive. 3 more years of 50% increases in the price of oil might just make ethanol practical and competitive. I suppose TP was expecting Bush to help bring down the absolute (not relative) cost of biofuels? haha Bush is doing everything in his power to make alternatives more competitive: by pursing a higher oil price policy!
