We're restricting it? We're subsidizing and pushing ethanol.

Yes. EPA and political control of small producers and sellers keep cheap fuels out of the market. If you think that is not the case, just try to open your own alternative fuel station.
We are not pushing ethanol. We are playing the subsidize and study game. Too many leeches are getting tax payer money to study ethanol. The subsidies are just pork for corporate farms, and serve only to kill the ethanol market. Let producers produce and let the marketplace decide the outcome.
You can not legislate invention.

EPA and political control of small producers and sellers keep cheap fuels out of the market.

If we're talking EPA, I don't think it's a conspiracy against other fuels. That organization is just evil. It'll take forever to get them to set rules for alternate fuel stations, let alone approve any.

Let producers produce and let the marketplace decide the outcome.

Excellent idea, but I don't think it'll succeed given the cost and the energy required to make ethanol.
