Alcohol Can Be a Gas
Blume is the author of Alcohol Can Be A Gas!, a review of the history of alcohol used as a fuel, together with an extensive investigation of how to produce alcohol fuel from different crops, using a variety of tools and techniques, and with an explanation of relevant laws and industry practices. The focus of the book is on how to set up and run crops and facilities for local ethanol use, as opposed to large-scale industrial or commercial use.
The book was originally written in 1983 for release with a 10-episode how-to series on PBS named Alcohol as Fuel, produced by KQED in San Francisco. Copies of the original book and TV series, which was only aired on KQED, have since been nearly impossible to obtain. The book was rewritten and expanded to 640 pages over several years and re-released with the same title on November 1, 2007.
David Blume works with Project Gaia to deliver clean burning stoves to African villages. “Locally produced Alcohol fuel is an ideal source of energy for cooking, heating, refrigeration, electrical generation and transportation needs. Developing this fuel provides communities with abundant food, energy and job opportunities and can immediately help stop global deforestation, the number 1 contributor to climate change.”
“We all must become the champions of hope and leaders of economic revitalization and environmental healing for our communities, our nation and planet. Bio-alcohol provides safe and affordable liquid solar energy that can safely power indoor heating and cooking as well as transportation and is an ideal solution for Haiti and the world.”
BONFRIE LESSON: There are more solutions than you can imagine, you just have to look beyond the status quo.
