ethyl alcohol is the one you drink also known as ethanol, methanol is not safe to drink. BUT don't drink rubbing alcohol even if it is ethyl because it is denatured. (They add poison so it is not safe to drink)
this of course is just the energy, it
ignores the storage and conversion costs
For example ethanol gives about the same energy as gasoline, even though it has almost 1/2 as much energy per kg. This is because ethanol can be run at much higher compression therefore more efficent. greenfuels.org

I though someone had got the induced decay of Hf spin isomers to work.

1300 megajoules per gram would be a good battery.
a quick grep of TWL06.txt
shows "SWEATERDRESSES" as the longest left handed word which is 15.

Canuck is usually used in a patriotic way, at least when used by Canadians.
This is probably due to the influence of Johnny Canuck an Uncle Sam like character.
