While reasearching the history of ethanol as a fuel, I discovered an interesting sidenote. Methanol was used for a long time where we now use ethanol, but for some unknown reason (farmer's lobbyists?) thre was a switch. Even though methanol generally is made of waste wood product. And is about 1/3 the price per gallon.
The politics definietly need to get out of our everyday decisions. A decision should be made due to its merits over other choices, not who has the better lobbyist.
