Hmmm... if they decide that they simply won't sell the good stuff to anybody 
but the government, then the whole prospect of using "water treatment" or 
"semiconductor" or "food" grades, available commercially at 30-70% concentration, 
and sparging/freezing the stuff to refine it, takes on a different perspective. 
(What with the tech slowddown and all, there may be a surplus in production
in capacity for "semiconductor grade" peroxide, which may have such low solute
levels that it can be sparged directly into acceptable propellant.)
