“One thing to remember is that for the DOD, the stakes are very high. They will be spending very heavily to develop military bio fuels, before China and Russia do, and it is a bitterly fought race right now.”
For security reasons, I do think a level of investment is appropriate. But it shouldn’t be sold as a way to make jobs or help the climate. We do have valid concerns in our national security and I think the best ones can be funded to a very limited amount. RESULTS being key.
I agree, though, subsidizes are a ‘way of life’, but I figure one of these days they’ll be more limited and accountable.
For the record, I am as strongly against the wacked out theory of man made climate change as anyone.
