[ANS: ETOH already has the 500 billion dollar infrastructure in place.]
 
Former SD Senator Tom Daschle sits on the board of several corporations involved in Ethanol.
 
Ol' Tom appears to be selling picks and shovels to the farmers after salting the mine with a few nuggets via federally mandated and subsidized ethanol.
 
Get rid of the Federal mandate / subsidy and Ethanol demand goes "poof". 
 
Let the free market decide.
 
Same with algae.

Problem is that every business with more than 50 employees receives incentives from either the feds, state or local governments. Check into local manufacturing in every small to large city across the nation and you find incentives have been paid to attract and retain businesses. Why do you want to single out the capturing of solar energy by corn famrers as the source of evil incentives unless you have middle east oil interests?
