Biofuel for the Future
Biofuel for the Future
How Fuel Alcohol Can Solve Our Energy Problems & Feed the World
David Blume started his ecological training young. He and his father Jerry organically grew
almost all the food their family ate on a city lot in San Francisco in the mid-1960s. He taught
his first ecology class in 1970, and after majoring in Ecological Biology and Biosystematics at
San Francisco State University, he worked on experimental projects, first for NASA, and then
as a member of the Mother Earth News Eco-Village alternative building and alternative
energy teams. When the energy crisis of 1978-79 struck, Blume started the American
Homegrown Fuel Co., an educational organization that taught thousands of people how to
produce and use low-cost alcohol fuel at home or on the farm. In 1993 he founded the
International Institute for Ecological Agriculture, dedicated to healing the planet while
providing for the human community with research, education and the implementation of
socially just, ecologically sound forms of agriculture. The organization is currently working to
establish a driver-owned cooperative biofuels station in Santa Cruz, California — a story
enlarged in his book, Alcohol Can Be a Gas, and in the interview that follows
