Fair enough, but I would rather use sources such as switchgrass and waste vegetable oil. They exist in abundance and could even be increased greatly. All that is left to do is find an efficient means of producing a usable fuel and distributing it. I would like to see solar power make its way into the equation as well.
Extra funding for research and development will eventually bring the prices down. It would create jobs too.
