The government can subsidise research into something all they want. However that does not count as a subsidy. That's called commerce when money in one place drives a market in another. No farmer goes and fills out a farm and gets extra money to grow corn, besides any they've already been getting.

With our improving relations with Iran and stability in Iraq just days away I don't think our nation should waste resources on 'weird' science fiction like hydrogen and corn juice as fuel.
Carbon based fuels are the future. I had a meeting with Mr. Hughes in Texas and his drill bits are the future. I'm buying 100,000 shares of Tool Co ASAP!
