If some ethonal subsidies are good why not even more? Seems silly to give just enough to get it off the ground but then the whole time hope it doesn't actually go widespread as ethonal can't possibly provide the need. Like Frank said, nobody is pushing for 100% replacement. The solution is an all of the above approach, but I think Redpoint5 is right, you shouldn't subsidize any of them. Things need to cost what they cost. It is also not fair to collect extra tax on one fuel then another when the use of one fuel over another doesn't change the wear and tear on the roads. The government getting involved in encouraging or discouraging behavior is the root of all our problems. How wonderful life would be if we didn't give a rip who was elected to any office anywhere because in the end it didn't effect our lives one way or the other.
