They are scared shiiteless. They realize that this is one of the technologies that will, eventually, return them to the status of their grandfathers - that of nomadic goatherders (or something else having to do with goats).

Most of the ones bent on stopping ethanol, biodiesel, etc...seem to have some vested interest in dinosaur juice
Yep...A Saudi oil “minister” even said so a couple of years ago...told OPEC to keep oil prices and production at an acceptable level or they will have to be inventing ways to make crude oil edible.
OPEC leaders are idiots. If they want to derail bio fuels, they simply kill it by increasing the supply of oil on the market, making gasoline and oil very cheap so there is no market incentive to develop biofuel. That is how they killed it during the early 1980’s.
