The Anti-Renewable Fuels Cliche Attack

Over at the Obsidian Wings blog, there was a well-considered post abut Volkswagen and its problems.  The very first comment however,  was yet another cliche-ridden attack on renewable fuels such as ethanol.  Basically, the claim was that ethanol was at the root of all the problems, which is absurd.  Renewable fuels are the solution to this country's energy problems  and yet all these oil company investor types continually attack ethanol, biodiesel and the like because they see renewable fuels as standing in the way  between them and even greater returns on their investments.
