Who knows how the policies will shake-out around greenhouse gas emissions regulation, fuel standards, and renewable fuels, but your point is well-taken. There is a growing consensus that we need to significantly reduce our fossil fuel dependence, which can get sidetracked by climate skeptics. Like you point out, fuel security concerns and air quality issues should be sufficient drivers for rapidly commercializing carbon-benign renewable fuels. Low carbon fuel standards are an aggressive tool, but may very well provide robust incentives to stimulate the development of advanced biofuels.

Since I work with trucks and cars all day, I am not certain of the science behind what is the best and most ideal solution, but it is sad that so much politics have gotten involved in a matter I think most everyone can agree on. For those who don't believe in global warning, I am fine. I haven't been to see the polar ice caps myself, not now and not 30 years ago, so it is all possible that it is a big hoax. However, eliminating that point, the pollution caused can't be healthy to the people living in the cities or the people, like us, who are in trucks all day for their work. I hope something can be done to resolve this matter. Working in the industry, I figure it is a valid place to voice my opinion on the matter.
