It bothers me in that it's more political rhetoric, selling the stupid people false hope on the future of energy. There's no way we'll be converting to expensive energy -- ethanol, hydrogen, or even solar -- until we've used up all the cheap energy -- oil, coal, and tar sands. I say don't hold your breath waiting for ethanol, because it might take another 50 years before we need it.
