What did Bruce Willis say in Armageddon? "You're NASA for crissakes! You should have a room of guys, thinking shit up, and a room of guys backing them up!" I don't think that's too much to ask for.

Here's an idea: for at least 10 years, prohibit any taxation on the production, sale, transportation, use, etc. of methanol.

For at least 10 years, prohibit any taxation (of any form) on any machine, generator, vehicle, etc. which uses (85% or greater) methanol as its fuel.

It is important to exclude ethanol from this idea because of the potential effects on food supply.


Do this and watch how quickly the private sector solves the problem.
