It all depends on wording.

If you asked Amaricans if their should be more renewable fuel OPTIONS most would probably say 'YES'.

If you asked Amaricans if they wanted more ethanol or renewable fuel content in their gasoline a whole lot more would say 'NO'


Renewable energy is cool, but it also needs to be sustainable and economically viable .




EDIT: I skimmed the press release the article is based on. This line caught my attention:

"67% of environmentalists believe the oil industry is to blame for high bas prices compared to 59% of the nation"

It sort of makes me think that the "environmentalists" in question are particularly poorly educated, and a big important renewable fuels coalition should probably hire a proof-reader before they put out press releases.
