Definitely. I think there is also something about these magic bullets that the government gets behind - ethanol, for example - that makes them feel as if they are really doing something. That approach also relieves them of the need to actually think about whether their policies are being implemented. This sort of thing happens all over the place. Instead of mandating that coal plants meet certain environmental standards, the government makes them use some specific type of technology. They almost never pick the best technology. How could they?
