I am all for investment in alternatives in the form of research..

In that MOST adults here understand that there is no such thing as pure capitalism or pure communism/socialism..

Which explains why you will see capitalism 'governments' like the US taking tax dollars and spending it on said research instead of only the market place spending on said research in a pure capitalism system..

Where I draw the line is when the government takes this 'research' and forces these alternatives into/onto the market place..

In that it does not solve the problem, if anything it distorts it!

Ethanol is a perfect example of that kind of boondoggle

In that there should be a point that after the research is done

If the 'product' can not stand on it's own in the market place without subsidies from the goverment

Than said product should be dropped
