Profit is not the problem.

I'm all for alternative energy sources.

When the alternative energy sources become more profitable, they will begin to move to the forefront. I previously mentioned I can't buy E85 for my truck (comparable in price to gasoline, or so I've heard) because it isn't sold within 100 miles of me. Why? Infrastructure is too expensive to make it profitable in Phoenix at a price I'm willing to pay.

And price gouging? I will again defer to my favorite economist.
