Ouch. The optimism in this 6 year old post hurts.
2009, January 22: Above comment made
2009, July 10: GM files for chapter 11 bankruptcy. It received a $51 Billion government bailout.
2010: GM has ~6 million "Flexible-Fuel" vehicles on the road, which can run on normal gas or E85 Ethenol.
I guess if the Flex Fuel was what Johnathan meant by "GM biofuels", then they came about much quicker than expected. If not, then it's been 5 years and we haven't seen much outside of DIY bio-fuels.
Biofuels understood as ethanol from corn are basically a disaster that no one is enthusiastic about any more. Biofuels understood as running diesels on used McDonalds frying oil do not scale.
