It's a relatively inexpensive necessary commodity.
It would be lower if not for taxation and the politics of environmentalism.

It is the hidden costs that make me wonder why we continue to drag our collective feet on alternative sources to fossil fuels... Hidden costs mostly having to do with air quality. The smog and pollution from coal burning powerplants and internal combution engines have resulted in massive increases in resperatory illness and death.
The more I read about it I think we should be seriously ramping up the research money into fuel cells and building nuclear plants to power the hydrogen reclamation process...
As for biomass... There are two bio-diesel stations in Toronto... they are growing in popularity... the main users of bio-diesel are farmers but there is an increased use by car drivers... My next car just might be a diesel.
