The U.S. Department of Energy estimates 2.45 billion metric tons a year of biomass are available for U.S. fuel production. One ton can be converted to 186 gallons (721 liters) of methanol. Source: http://www.iags.org/methanol.htmThis is to say, the government has chosen a path to consume a total of 7.76 billion barrels of crude oil per year, when the U. S. Department of Energy estimates enough biomass is annually available to make 10.85 billion barrels of methanol. Methanol is no stranger to the oil companies who use it for an octane booster, just like they use ethanol, but they want to make it out of crude oil. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_economyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_economyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_economyEthanol is easily converted to diethyl ether (starting fluid) at 140 deg. C with conc. sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid is not consumed in the reaction and water is the only by-product. Ethers are used as anti-knock additives.

Then shouldnt they work for the same price that the rest of the country works for so we could save money. And cut the pensions that come with it. Especially on any elected official that has ever filibusted!!

A decade ago, the government's own studies showed that diesel vehicles were 25% more fuel efficient than gasoline vehicles for the same performance. Yet, smaller, affordable vehicles virtually disappeared for "environmental" reasons. Newer diesels are even more fuel efficient compared to gasoline vehicles and the recent comeback has dried up with the new fuel requirements.Why is the US stuck using the explosive refinery waste product in its vehicles while other countries can benefit from the more energy packed fuel?
