What We Can Do About Our National Lack of Fuel Competition
We're trying to create fuel competition in America, so when you fill up your car with fuel, you will have at least two options besides petroleum.
Because your car will be capable of burning multiple fuels, you'll be able to choose what fuel you want to buy today. Will it be gasoline? Ethanol from the local waste-management facility? Ethanol you made at home? Ethanol from corn? Methanol from agricultural waste? Methanol from natural gas? You will be able to choose. You…

My engine is running too hot on ethanol. What should I do?
Last spring I bought a conversion kit for my Corolla from David Blume, had a mechanic install it and have been using E85 since then. Recently my husband changed the spark plugs. They were white, indicating that the engine had been running too hot. Now he wants me to switch back to gasoline so I won't ruin the engine. He also doesn't like the fact that the engine doesn't start up right away. Can someone tell me how to remedy these problems?

Why Support the Open Fuel Standard Act of 2011?
1. Save money. It will bring down gas prices at the pump. The main reason gas is so expensive is that OPEC deliberately lowers its production to raise the price of oil, and we have no real…

Pony Farm in Mendocino
I just wanted to mention that I'm moving to a farm in Mendocino county, California, and I hope to start some sort of alcohol fuel production there (or nearby) as part of a Permaculture farm.
I'm a graduate of one of Farmer Dave's Permaculture design certification courses (taught at Jikoji, a Zen center on the California coast) and I got a pre-taste of the ACBAG goodness back then. I'm finally going to get out of the city and onto some land and do the Permie thing. Catch it on a…

My first day on this site
Well I'm sure glad I found this site. I've been driving diesel Mercedes Benz cars about nine over the last four and half to five years. I have two right now. I run them on biodiesel when I can get it. I have run on straight used vegetable oil, too using my own and other's designed heated tanks, filters etc.
Now I want to get into the alcohol fuel thing as well. There is such a huge need on the part of most people, including me for an easily available alternative fuel.
I'm…

California approves first US carbon-trading scheme

This is just the beginning for all involved in the renewable energy space. Perhaps the people over at E-Fuel Corporation (http://microfueler.com) were paying attention to California's inevitable carbon trading program since they have a "Carbon Credit Program" associated with the use of their…

Why should we care that "Feed-In Tariff, California Style: CPUC Passes One Gigawatt RAM Program"?
Now that California, one of the largest markets for renewal energy will have its own version of the famous "Feed-In Tariff" (see http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/ram/) that drove Germany's solar market to such heights, another benefit may be available to ethanol enthusiasts. Specifically, a large enough electricity generation plant fueled by ethanol should qualify for the Feed-In Tariff thus providing ethanol…

The Auto Channel Fights for the Truth about Ethanol Versus Gasoline
Lies and Misconceptions about Ethanol Continue to Keep it from Public Acceptance
A couple of months ago Bob Gordon and I posted some stories and a RoadTrip video we produced about ethanol. The video featured interviews with actor and environmental activist Ed Begley, Jr., and David Blume, author of “Alcohol Can Be A Gas” (the best and most complete book ever written about producing and using ethanol). The stories and video can be found at…
