All this conspiracy theory stuff is entertaining, but it's all BS, this is nothing more than Economics 101.
Amen to that. Most people missed the entire point I was posing in my original post anyway. How biodiesel is a "politically correct" issue is beyond me, but it obviously has it's strong proponents and opponents.
