Alcohol Can Be A Gas!

Workshops for Fueling an Ethanol Revolution in the 21st Century!

Join author and bio-fuel expert David Blume for two Midwest workshops.

Milwaukee - October 20, 2007
Chicago - October 27, 2007

The micro-distillery model described in Alcohol Can Be A Gas! lends itself to a group effort that includes farmers, entreprenuers, contractors, car mechanics, and any fuel user who is disgusted when they pull up to the gas pump.

Dave is an excellent speaker. Read his speaking testimonials.
Come hear his stories and insights gleaned from 30 years of producing ethanol!
Network with others wanting to start their own still and/or fueling system.

View an insightful interview on KPTV, Portland, Oregon,
where Dave touches on many of his workshop topics.

Topics:

  • The hidden history of ethanol

  • State of our current fuel situation and the impact of Peak oil

  • Busting the ethanol myths

  • How Brazil has built an ethanol economy

  • Agriculture/permaculture and the most profitable crops to use as feedstock

  • How sound ecological approaches can produce abundant fuel while sequestering atmospheric carbon and reverse the potential for climate change!

  • How to make your own fuel for about 43 cents per gallon!

  • How to build and operate your own still

  • Alcohol Versus Gasoline - how ethanol use can greatly reduce air pollution and extend the life of your engine!

  • How to inexpensively convert your vehicle engine to ethanol and optimize its performance

  • Flex Fuel and Dual Fuel Systems and how to optimize their performance

  • The Business of alcohol - how to start your own small scale operation

  • Community Supported Energy (CSE) - how to save money by building an ethanol co-op!

  • Heating, lighting, and cooling using ethanol

  • Converting diesel and two stroke engines

  • Co-generation - producing heat and electricity with ethanol

Who Will Benefit From This Workshop

Contractors - Learn how to make your own fuel for less than $1 per gallon. And ... get the government to pay you $.61 per gallon to use that fuel!

Farmers - Earn profit by utilizing distillery by-products as animal feed and as fertilizer - create an economic engine that can vitalize the family farm

Airplane owners - Alcohol is 105 octane and much cheaper than leaded Avgas .

Entrepreneurs & Investors - Learn how a mini-distillery can be an economic engine for creating high value fuel and distillery co-products.

City Administrators and Planners - Learn how to produce ethanol from municipal biomass, for example, cattails in sewage treatment systems.

Self-Sufficiency Enthusiasts and Do-It-Yourselfers - Ideal for self-sufficiency - alcohol is a universal energy supply.

Home Brewers -Take your knowledge to the next level and learn to distill your fermented mash to fuel alcohol.

Teachers - Get your students attention! Learn how fermentation, distillation, and vehicle conversion are great applications for teaching biology, physics, and chemistry.

Permaculturalists -Learn how to use ethanol as a motor fuel or as a co-generation fuel to generate electricity and heat or for cooking while creating a fully integrated food/fuel agricultural system.

Intentional Communities - Learn of a micro-distillery model that provides food and fuel self-sufficiency and can serve as the economic heart of the community vie a Community Supported Energy (CSE) co-op that can provide low priced fuel to community members.

Community Development Corporations - Learn how fuel and food production from a micro-distillery can serve as the economic engine for revitalizing depressed communities by creating many jobs, producing valuable fuel and food products, and generating much needed revenue.

Environmentalists - Learn an achievable plan for stopping, and ultimately reversing, atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions, eliminating all need for imported oil, and transforming industrial agriculture into a diversified, localized system that eliminates all waste effluents, provides more humane treatment of livestock, and produces plentiful organic food.

Peak Oil Groups - Learn how ethanol can be produced in an environmentally sustainable manner and in enough quantity to completely offset the impact of Peak Oil, while increasing our food supply.

Fleet Owners and Operators - Learn 6 different ways to convert your diesel vehicles to run on ethanol, how to make your own fuel for less than $1 per gallon, triple your engine life, and receive a tax credit of $.61 per gallon!

Biofuel and Renewable Energy Enthusiasts - Learn how to build and operate a mini-distillery that can create fuel and food self-sufficiency, with excess production to sell to your friends and community.

Food Distributors and Grocers - Learn how to turn your produce waste into valuable fuel and how to use the by-products from a micro-distillery to produce many valuable food items while generating additional produce revenue.

Race Car Owners/Drivers - Ethanol burns cooler than gas so can push the engine much harder - and you'll get up to 40% increased horsepower.
