A recent white paper by Leslie Bromberg of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center and Wai K. It is a high octane fuel with combustion characteristics that allow engines specifically designed for methanol fuel to match the best efficiencies of diesels while meeting current pollutant emission regulations. It is a safe fuel.

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history.

The third win—carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) pollution and oil imports would be reduced. The analysis used the MIT US Regional Energy Policy (USREP) model to evaluate the effect of a carbon tax as part of a Federal budget deal. This contributes to the win-win-win result we expected for the nation’s economy and environment.
