Subject:Solve fire/conversion/pollution problems with Methanol

A snip from a Fuel Cell fan site:
Methanol is one of the safest and most environmentally
sound fuels available. In
the United States, there are over 180,000 vehicle
fires each year in which gasoline
is the first material to ignite. According to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a switch to
methanol could reduce the incidence of these fires by
90 percent, saving 720 lives, preventing nearly 3,900
serious injuries, and reducing property
         losses by millions of dollars.

I also read in ten years up to 20% of all cars sold
will
be fuel cell powered by methanol.
