Going Green With Alcohol
1. Almost every country can become energy-independent. Anywhere that has sunlight and land can produce alcohol from plants. Brazil, the fifth largest country in the world imports no oil, since half its cars run on alcohol fuel made from sugarcane, grown on 1% of its land.
2. We can reverse global warming. Since alcohol is made from plants, its production takes carbon dioxide out of the air, sequestering it, with the result that it reverses the greenhouse effect (while potentially vastly improving the soil). Recent studies show that in a permaculturally designed mixed-crop alcohol fuel production system, the amount of greenhouse gases removed from the atmosphere by plants—and then exuded by plant roots into the soil as sugar—can be 13 times what is emitted by processing the crops and burning the alcohol in our cars.
3. We can revitalize the economy instead of suffering through Peak Oil. Oil is running out, and what we replace it with will make a big difference in our environment and economy. Alcohol fuel production and use is clean and environmentally sustainable, and will revitalize families, farms, towns, cities, industries, as well as the environment. A national switch to alcohol fuel would provide many millions of new permanent jobs.
4. No new technological breakthroughs are needed. We can make alcohol fuel out of what we have, where we are. Alcohol fuel can efficiently be made out of many things, from waste products like stale donuts, grass clippings, food processing waste-even ocean kelp. Many crops produce many times more alcohol per acre than corn, using arid, marshy, or even marginal land in addition to farmland. Just our lawn clippings could replace a third of the autofuel we get from the Mideast.
5. Unlike hydrogen fuel cells, we can easily use alcohol fuel in the vehicles we already own. Unmodified cars can run on 50% alcohol, and converting to 100% alcohol or flexible fueling (both alcohol and gas) costs only a few hundred dollars. Most auto companies already sell new dual-fuel vehicles.
6. Alcohol is a superior fuel to gasoline! It's 105 octane, burns much cooler with less vibration, is less flammable in case of accident, is 98% pollution-free, has lower evaporative emissions, and deposits no carbon in the engine or oil, resulting in a tripling of engine life. Specialized alcohol engines can get at least 22% better mileage than gasoline or diesel.
7. It's not just for gasoline cars. We can also easily use alcohol fuel to power diesel engines, trains, aircraft, small utility engines, generators to make electricity, heaters for our homes—and it can even be used to cook our food.
8. Alcohol has a proud history. Gasoline is a refinery's toxic waste; alcohol fuel is liquid sunshine. Henry Ford's early cars were all flex-fuel. It wasn't until gasoline magnate John D. Rockefeller funded Prohibition that alcohol fuel companies were driven out of business.
9. The byproducts of alcohol production are clean, instead of being oil refinery waste, and are worth more than the alcohol itself. In fact, they can make petrochemical fertilizers and herbicides obsolete. The alcohol production process concentrates and makes more digestible all protein and non-starch nutrients in the crop. It's so nutritious that when used as animal feed, it produces more meat or milk than the corn it comes from. That's right, fermentation of corn increases the food supply and lowers the cost of food.
10. Locally produced ethanol supercharges regional economies. Instead of fuel expenditures draining capital away to foreign bank accounts, each gallon of alcohol produces local income that gets recirculated many times. Every dollar of tax credit for alcohol generates up to $6 in new tax revenues from the increased local business.
11. Alcohol production brings many new small-scale business opportunities. There is huge potential for profitable local, integrated, small-scale businesses that produce alcohol and related byproducts, whereas when gas was cheap, alcohol plants had to be huge to make a profit.
12. Scale matters—most of the widely publicized potential problems with ethanol are a function of scale. Once production plants get beyond a certain size and are too far away from the crops that supply them, closing the ecological loop becomes problematic. Smaller-scale operations can more efficiently use a wide variety of crops than huge specialized one-crop plants, and diversification of crops would largely eliminate the problems of monoculture.
13. The byproducts of small-scale alcohol plants can be used in profitable, energy-efficient, and environmentally positive ways. For instance, spent mash (the liquid left over after distillation) contains all the nutrients the next fuel crop needs and can return it back to the soil if the fields are close to the operation. Big-scale plants, because they bring in crops from up to 45 miles away, can't do this, so they have to evaporate all the water and sell the resulting byproduct as low-price animal feed,which accounts for half the energy used in the plant.

ArtByLetters™®© Beyond2020 World Petition
Remember the famous story of Franklin Roosevelt and the labor leaders during the Great Depression: At the end of their
meeting, he said to them: "I completely agree with you. Now
pressure me to do it." In this sense, our pressure is as important
as who our leaders are. It will take two partners to accomplish
what must be done:
worthy leaders and focused public support. The extraordinary
advantage we have in our effort to deal with the crisis of global
warming is that we do not have to create a constituency. It is
already there. What we have to do is energize it and shape a
global movement that will compel our governments to take
decisive action to build a positive future......
http://www.worldforum.org/global-call.htm
We the undersigned have come together at a moment of urgent
global necessity to call attention to the crisis of global warming
and appeal to our leaders to implement the proposal announced
by Al Gore on July 17th 2008 to produce 100% of our electricity
by renewable energy within the next ten years. We implore our
governments to take action and implement this vision in the spirit
of president Kennedy's vision to put a human on the moon within
ten years. Nothing less than this will suffice. We are confronted with
a challenge that is political and economic in scope and moral and is
spiritual at its core. Its solution must be as inspired. simple and
audacious as to align human affairs with the natural systems of Earth.
http://www.worldforum.org/global-call.htm
INITIAL SIGNATORIES:
Esperide Ananas, Angeles Arrien, Patricia Ellsberg,
Steve Farrell, Jim Garrison, Christina Grof, Stan Grof,
Robert Dirks Hall, Johannes Heimrath, Jean Houston,
Barbara Marx Hubbard, Arjan Kinderman, Stacey
Lawson, Hunter Lovins, Stephanie Pace Marshall,
Caroline Myss, Michael Olmstead, Andy Orgel, Paul Ray,
Kumar Rupesinghe, Margaret Schaub, Benjamin Schick,
Joel Silberman, Mary Staton, Michel Saint Sulpice,
Claudia Welss, and Robert Work ........
You will see ArtByLetters at number 162 YES......
SO join us, sign this Call to Action, add your
name to the list, and send it on to your network
for their consideration,urging them to do the same.
