The Obama administration keeps mentioning how important it is for us to invest in alternative fuels, unfortunately, they aren't needed in this area. The reason our system works is the private sector works these things out on it's own.

Do you honestly believe the automakers aren't aware we will run out of oil in the next 30 years or so? Do you honestly believe they will remain idle while they are run out of business? No, they will adapt. They will improve alternative fuel technology, because it affects their profit margin. They have much more incentive to invest in this kind of technology than the government does.

We don't need them spending our money to research what the private sector will research on their own!

The free market should be the determining factor in what technologies are developed and improved upon. If their is a market for fucking windmills private companies will invest in windmill technology. If their is a market for solar panels they will invest in that area.

I remember the government pushing the whole ethanol thing and that turned out great. People in other countries were starving because we were using food to make our fuel. I remember saying it didn't seem like a good idea to use food for fuel and low and behold problems occurred because of it. These are the type of sophomoric ideas these folks in Washington come up with. We don't need them peddling their ignorant ideas.

There are people in the fields far more qualified to develop solutions, research the problems, and find private investors to finance such endeavors. They tend to be more competent as well considering they are using their own funds, or are required to show progress the the investors who's money they are using. The government on the other hand isn't using their own money. They simply use the taxpayers money to fund this shit and therefor don't care as much about actual results.

If the American consumer wants something, chances are good the private sector will produce it.
