He thinks methanol is more promising than ethanol, because it can be made from materials other than foodstuffs. In any event, flex-fuel cars could use any combination of gasoline, ethanol, and methanol (and other alcohols).
He's got that absolutly right, the only reason the gumment is pushing ethanol is the midwestern farm lobbyists. From an energy or cost perspective ethanol is a disaster.

Same w/ net metering for electric usage. They won't allow shopping centers and other commercial sites that have the potential for a lot of solar energy production to sell to the power co. like individual homeowners can, because the large producers can put a real dent in the power companies need to generate.. What nonsense
