BTW, methanol is more than "a little more" toxic than methanol when ingested
by humans!!

 Methanol if ingested will kill you or at least blind you (and in fact is
what is used to 'denature' the ethanol, hence the British term "methylated
spirits" or "meths"). And it is usually made from natural gas these days,
not "wood" and not air and water!

Ethanol is 'grain alcohol' (corn, wheat, etc.), and thus renewable as well
as considerably less toxic. Efforts are ongoing here in BC to establish an
"ethanol-from-wood waste" production base, whcih has been previously
discussed. 

It is true that ethanol is more difficult to work with in biodiesel
production than is methanol, and it is more expensive (see 'natural gas
princing',, economy of scale,  "true cost of oil' etc. for an explanation of
that one!)
