The Methanol Economy

 Why build nuclear plants when a better source of fuel is right at hand?

 "Currently, U.S. laws allow for only gasoline and bioethanol to be used in fuels in internal combustion engines. But methanol may become an alternative if the Open Fuel Standard Act of 2011 is passed by the Senate and House of Representative mandating that by 2017 automakers no longer be allowed to make cars that run only on gasoline. The bill calls for alternative fuels such as methanol and fueling stations.
“The law needs to be changed so that all kinds of fuels can be used,” Prakash said. “Change in the law will make the playing field even. Let the best fuel win — and we think that is methanol.”"
