Not needed: another car-fuel mandate

Yet, the NYT lets Tom Ridge and Mary Peters shill for a natural-gas front industry, wanting to expand the goverment's flex-fuel requirement for gasoline/ethanol cars to include methanol from natural gas.

Beyond the boondoggle that ethanol already has, beyond the possible Ponzi scheme of a fair amount of current shale gas production (which is why the Ridge/Peters backers want this expanded flex fuel requirement) we also have them ignoring other actual or potential problems with methanol except its lower energy output, which would be impossible to hide.
