That coupled with the fact that most of the oil production in the world occurs in countries that are not our "friend" is an extremely scary scenario. It does not surprise me that corporations are profiting from a dwindling product controled by a untrustworthy lot (OPEC etc.) We should be looking for alternatives and methanol is not the one. The internal combustion engine is basically the same design that Henry Ford used in the Model T with computer technology added. Einstein predicted that we would be driving around in nuclear powered vehicles by now. Oh, I'm sorry I said the dreaded "N" word.
