Lets say that its 20 years later (or whatever) and cars in the US are fueled by E85. Would we be better off, cost-wise, then we were buying gas? That is to say, could the US farming industry support a large demand of E85, and keep the prices low (and by low, I mean under $2).
Same question for Hydrogen: could it be produced with such volume to keep the prices low enough?
I guess the overall question is, are these alternative fuels capable of being more financially feasible then gas is to us now?
