The energy carried by methanol is less than was needed to make it
This is the problem with almost all of these so-called alternative fuels,
they are not energy sources but are only a storage medium for energy generated
elsewhere, with the attendant losses dictated by the laws of thermodynamics.

I'm not certain, but methanol as a fuel
We had a chiller that used Methanol to get down to very low temperatures.
When our Health Safety folks found out that we had it they set down some
very strict rules when handling the Methanol or just an open container in
the room. We always had to be wearing a respirator, face shield, long sleeve
The reason that it causes
blindness is it attacks and destroys the optic nerve. I seem to
remember
this process taking some time and I think they said it was one of those
chemicals that your body has trouble getting rid of, i.e. it tends to
build
up over time to get to the strength required
