Not wishing to see his faith being even accidentally mistaken as reasonable, a Saudi cleric has issued a warning to his people against driving cars that use ethanol in their fuel mixture. No, I'm not making this up.
Not sure, but could it be that Saudis are trying to use Islam to protect their economy ? Because if bio diesel is termed unIslamic, then is it possible that countries with "inclusive" goverments like Britain will find it difficult to enforce compulsary mixing of biofuels for automobiles ?
And if the Arabs are scared of biofuels, it is the most sure sign that biofuels are reaching a critical mass. There can be no better evidence.

Well,
This is one of the few times I find a Saudi Cleric resonable.
If the proportion of ethanol mixed in automobiles rises, who will buy all the crude oil from the otherwise useless Arabs?
Lets wait now for a fatwa against solar and wind energy.
