I think that ultimately, it's not being done because it's not being pushed. Al Gore was ripped up one side and down the other for saying that the combustion engine needed to be gotten rid of. It made him a liberal fascist and un-American to suggest that we worry about the environment or energy conservation. The auto companies and oil companies are too powerful to change.

I know for a FACT that a large oil company (I won't say which due to propriatory reasons) is the main backer behing R&D of biofuels. Why? Because if they can get the technology, they are in business forever, due to our large supply of trees and grasses.
