Fuel-Cell Power With Methanol

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-moonshine-power dept.

See the article at FutureEnergies.com." That article links to this piece at ZDNet; what's interesting is that instead of hydrogen, this article talks instead mostly about methanol-based fuel cells.

    As an experiment, try splashing a few drops of methanol on your hand and enjoy as you kiss your eyesight goodbye. And you thought gas with MBTE was bad!

    Methanol sux - don't ever forget that. It's a scam by gas producers to keep sucking money out of your wallet while continuing to fuck up the environment.

    We want hydrogen god-damnit (yes, harvested from water via wind, solar, geothermal etc)! Cut the bullshit!
