"A
recent study conducted by the Swiss-based group called
Global Subsidies Initiative revealed the total cost of the
tax breaks and subsidies that go into U.S. production of
ethanol to be in the whopping range of $5.1 to $6.8
billion for 2006." (more)
While I'd rather use my tax dollars to subsidize American
industries, such as ethanol producers, rather than foreign
oil companies, I'd rather subsidize hybrid cars and other
clean vehicle technologies more than ethanol. Give GM and
Ford $5 billion per year to perfect hybrid cars, plug-in
hybrid vehicles, fuel cell hybrid vehicles and electric
vehicles.
If lighter materials and smarter automobile designs were
coupled with next generation batteries, fuel cells and
hybrid technology, the U.S. could easily end foreign oil
dependency. Sure it would be expensive, but not too
expensive if we simply made better use of current
tax subsidies - Not by adding new ones.
