Mrs. Green’s World Talks about Alcohol as a Fuel Source

[caption id="attachment_1314" align="alignright" width="230" caption="mrsgreensworld.com"][/caption] Gina Murphy-Darling is the host of the environmental talk show called Mrs. Green's World. I had an opportunity to listen to her show for the first time on Saturday, June 18, 2011. In her show she talked about skin care and organics, the Wallow fires in Arizona were her log cabin was burned down and how she is going to rebuild green. Her main guest for the show was David Blume the subject of the show was Alcohol Can Be a Gas. David is has done so much it's hard to know where to begin, he is an inventor, researcher and now an author who wrote a book which is hailed as the bible of alcohol fuel production. On his site he says that Alcohol fuel is "liquid sunshine" and can't be controlled by corporations. He also says you can produce alcohol for less than $1.00 a gallon, using a wide variety of plants and waste products, from algae to stale donuts. It's a much better fuel than gasoline and you can use it in your car right now. The produced alcohol can also be used to generate electricity. This is actually my first time hearing about the production of alcohol to be used as fuel. Now I have heard of algae production being used as a fuel for vehicles. This was an eye opening and educational interview that had my undivided attention. Did you know that it would cost less than $300.00 to convert your car to run alcohol and gas? I think it would be outstanding if we could switch between alcohol and gas with the hopes of switching to this alternative fuel.  In Brazil over %95 of vehicles run on alcohol and in Sweden has instituted a national program. Not only Sweden but India is also moving in that direction. Alcohol fuel production is ecologically sustainable because it's produced by the sun. They are doing this in Santa Cruz. This cuts the big fuel production companies out of the picture. I'm sure the big fuel companies are totally against it and would try to put a stop to it. Money talks in this society and when small local people like you and I try and make a change that affects their pockets, best believe that they will try and step in. When the show ended I wanted to hear more and could not believe that the hour passed by so quickly. Become part of the green movement, educate yourself and listen to Mrs. Green's World. Mrs. Green's World airs at 12:00 PM on 790-AM KNST in Arizona. She can also be found at http://www.mrsgreensworld.com/ Mark your calendars, her show is taking to the web on July 2, 2011.
