China and Alternate Energy

What's the difference between China and the United States? The Chinese tyranny isn't controlled by big oil. As a result the Chinese have a serious program to develop substitutes for Oil.
Beijing's new driving spirit

BEIJING - China is working on fiscal policies to encourage production of biological energy - including plant-derived ethanol and methane - as substitutes for oil, a move experts say would help China reduce its reliance on oil and build an environmentally friendly society.

Nothing will be done to promote alternate fuels in the United States as long as the big oil friendly Republicans are in charge. The reality is that energy shortages are a plus for the bottom line of the big energy producers. We have seen that recently in the record profits of the big oil companies.
