The Summer 2007 issue of Co-op America Quarterly has an excellent cover article comparing alternative fuels. The full issue in PDF format is available for free. Read the articles in the issue for lots of information - their bottom line:

• E85 Corn Ethanol - a disaster
• Hydrogen - too far in the future to do any good
• ULSD - there are better choices
• CNG - in some cases okay for short term, but better choices exist
• Cellulosic Ethanol - does reduce emissions, but watch out for agri-corps
• Gas-Electric Hybrids - good short term choice to make it to better options
• Biodiesel - recommended for short term, best option when made from waste
• Plug-in Hybrid - brightest hope for the future

There is much more information in the articles in this issue - most highly recommended!
