"There's simply no two ways about this fuel question. Gasoline is going - alcohol is coming. It's coming to stay, too, for it's in unlimited supply. And we might as well get ready for it now. All the world is waiting for a substitute to gasoline. When that is gone, there will be no more gasoline, and long before that time, the price of gasoline will have risen to a point where it will be too expensive to burn as a motor fuel. The day is not far distant when, for every one of those barrels of gasoline, a barrel of alcohol must be substituted."
Henry Ford, 1916
Why Ethanol?
with alcohol fuel we will become energy independent,
reverse the effects of global warming, and survive peak oil.
There are four primary reasons to reduce or (even better) eliminate fossil fuels from the American energy diet.
1. Reduce the US trade deficit.
2. Reduce our reliance on foreign oil.
3. Reduce CO2 and its contribution to global warming.
4. Revitalize our economy.
Alcohol has a proud history and a vital future...read more
what is flex-Fuel Conversion Technology?
Support the American Farmer! Renewable Domestic Fuel! No new car payments! ... Life is good.
Flex-Fuel Conversion Technology utilizes its own standalone CPU to enable the vehicle’s fuel system to burn ethanol (E85), gasoline, or any blend of the two fuels. Flex-Fuel technology provides an inexpensive method for the majority of people to take advantage of Ethanol fuels rapidly expanding across the United States. Currently there are over 50,000 units installed and installation is easy and typically takes around one hour.
While U.S. automobile manufacturers are responding to the demand for flex-fuel vehicles, these vehicles currently represent less than one percent of all vehicles on the road.

The Permaculture Solution to Fossil Fuel Dependency
corn only produces about 200 gallons of ethanol per acre
Today’s Corn Farmers will begin to ask themselves, "Why not grow 800 to 1000 gallon per acre crops and still be able to grow a cover crop over the winter, to be turned in, providing fertilizer and organic matter to grow the next crop?" Why not, when it not only is productive and profitable, but gives us a cleaner environment and healthy soil? When farmers realize their Co-op can gross $2300 per acre just on the alcohol and can also demolish almost all chemical input costs – it becomes difficult to consider a reason NOT to do it. Excerpt from Alcohol Can Be A Gas by David Bloom.
Food vs. Fuel
The big oil lobby have begun promulgating the myth that increased ethanol production, and its demand for corn crops, is responsible for increased food costs. It’s a gross oversimplification and in fact, its plain wrong. read the article on the National Farmers Union website.
Alcohol Can Be A Gas
alcohol is a superior fuel to gasoline!
Alcohol fuel can efficiently be made out of many things, from waste products like stale donuts, grass clippings, food processing waste-even ocean kelp. Many crops produce many times more alcohol per acre than corn, using arid, marshy, or even marginal land in addition to farmland. Just our lawn clippings could replace a third of the auto fuel we get from the Mideast. ...more about "Alcohol Can Be A Gas"
an added bonus for consumers switching to E85 is that not only does the fuel burn cleaner than unleaded, but also that e85 is 105 octane which increases horsepower. There are over 1200 stations carrying E85 in the US and more stations coming on line everyday.
