This DVD is all you ll need to hand to that nay-saying-know-it-all at your next party to blow their mind. Filmed in 2004 in Marin County, California; the nation s first driver-owned coop was organized as a result of this talk. Also included is a segment showing all the steps in making alcohol fuel. Would you be surprised to know: -- Your gasoline vehicle can already use at least 50% ethanol without modification. -- Brazil runs 50% of its cars on straight alcohol. -- Gasoline is toxic waste; ethanol is liquid solar energy. -- We can reverse global warming by switching to alcohol fuel. -- Alcohol is 105 octane, as good as the best racing or aviation fuels. -- Anything you can make from oil, you can make from plants. -- Alcohol production is a completely sustainable and ecological cycle. -- Oil companies have a nightmare future planned for us (tar sands, oil shale, coal-to-gas, etc.). -- John D. Rockefeller funded Prohibition to destroy the alcohol fuel movement. There is no doubt in my mind that Dave Blume will inspire audiences of all kinds with his fluid teaching style, eclectic expertise, and stimulating ideas. Not only does he present powerful solutions that are much needed in our present time of ecological crisis; he also empowers listeners with innovative and practical tools to create their very own solutions. --Karen Chen, Ecology Manager, Ecogatherings Dave is one of the very best instructors I have ever encountered. He understands his material at a depth few can match, he has insights uniquely his own, and he is not afraid to speak the truth. --Mark Hoffman, President, Center for Sustainable Community One of the best speakers I've witnessed in a long time. --John Schaeffer, President & Founder, Real Goods David Blume started his ecological training young. He and his father Jerry grew almost all the food their family ate, organically on a city lot in San Francisco in the mid-'60s! Dave taught his first ecology class in 1970. After majoring in Ecological Biology and Biosystematics at San Francisco State University, he worked on experimental projects, first for NASA, and then as a member of the Mother Earth News Eco Village alternative building and alternative energy teams. When the energy crisis of 1978-79 struck, Dave started the American Homegrown Fuel Co., an educational organization that taught upwards of 7000 people how to produce and use low-cost alcohol fuel at home or on the farm. In 1984, Dave founded Planetary Movers, an award-winning social experiment and commercial venture, well known for productive activism (e.g., on behalf of Nicaragua s Sandinistas), as well as for pioneering practices of progressive employment, green marketing, and the sharing of a percentage of profits for peace and the environment. In 1994, he started Our Farm. This community-supported agriculture (CSA) farm was also a teaching farm, based on sustainable practices, that hosted over 200 interns and apprentices from all over the world, and held regular tours for thousands of people. Our Farm grew as much as 100,000 pounds of food per acre, without a tractor, using only hand tools, on a terraced, 35-degree slope. The International Institute for Ecological Agriculture (IIEA), founded by Dave in 1993, is dedicated to healing the planet while providing for the human community with research, education, and the implementation of socially just, ecologically sound, resource-conserving forms of agriculture the basis of all sustainable societies. The IIEA teaches permaculture, an ethical system of ecological land design, which incorporates the disciplines of agriculture, hydrology, energy, architecture, economics, social science, animal husbandry, forestry, and others. Dave and his IIEA associates are establishing a biofuels station in Santa Cruz, California, that will offer alcohol fuel in a driver-owned cooperative, as detailed in this book Alcohol Can Be a Gas!. Dave is currently Executive Director of the IIEA. He has consulted for a wide array of clients, including governments, farmers, and companies interested in turning waste into valuable and profitable products. Recent work includes a feasibility study for a macadamia growers cooperative in Mexico, and a water harvesting/reforestation project in Antigua, West Indies. He is working with a farming college connected to the government of Ghana to develop alternative fuels, to train agricultural extension agents in organic farming, and to design an ecological strategy to stop the Sahara Desert from advancing. He also recently inspired the city of Urbana, Illinois, to hold a conference between builders, lenders, developers, municipalities, building inspectors, architects, and engineers, to coordinate the mainstreaming of natural building technologies. He has helped the Ford Motor Company demonstrate alcohol-fuel-powered vehicles at a series of U.S. events. 'Farmer Dave' is often called upon to testify before agencies on issues related to the land and democracy. He is a frequent speaker at ecological, sustainability, Peak Oil, and agricultural conferences in the Americas, and has appeared in interviews over 1000 times in print, radio, and television. Dave firmly believes in Emma Goldman s view of, 'If I can't dance, I don't want to be in your revolution,' and he can frequently be found on the dance floor when he isn't flagrantly inciting democracy.

Fueling an Ethanol Revolution for the 21st Century Rating - Alcohol can be a gas Everyone should watch this and we could say good-bye to foreign oil sooner than you think!!! Rating - Great transaction I watched this dvd with a couple of family members and have to say it was extremely informative. My one big problem with it though was the length, it seemed to go on and on for hours, and while I understood the overall concept, I felt much of the data was too detailed for the average person. I think people with really technical minds would have an easier time taking it all in. Having said that, I did learn a lot from this lecture and ... Read More Rating - Excellent !!
