What we need to do is get active before they realize they can regulate and tax us into a price that matches gas. Waste Management has jumped on bio diesel by paying restaurants to take their throw away oil. Which locks us out there. Now I hear that some states are charging tax to people selling power back to the electric companies (like they do the power companies, which can absorb this and pass it on to us).

I really feel like that florida has an abundance of crops that would be perfect for ethanol production. We have a huge sugar cane industry that is really dying at the moment because of foreign imports and free trade etc., and there is a lot of potential there. Not to mention the number of lakes containing cat-tails, and the abundance of Kudzu, which i havent heard of anyone using yet but id love to experiment with. So many possibilities.
