About the Author:

David Blume has been at the forefront of alternative fuel technology since the 1970s, when he was a member of the Mother Earth News Eco Village alternative energy team. John Schaeffer, founder of Real Goods, calls Dave "the world's original alcohol pioneer.” Dave has personally taught over 7,000 people how to produce and use low-cost alcohol fuel in intensive workshops. He also wrote and hosted the 10-part PBS series Alcohol As Fuel. Dave has also been a pioneer in community-supported agriculture. He is Executive Director of the International Institute for Ecological Agriculture, where he teaches permaculture. He consults for governments, farmers, companies, and others interested in turning waste into fuel and profitable products. His recently issued patent for a process using alcohol fuel production byproducts as a nontoxic replacement for poisonous herbicides and fertilizers has the potential to revolutionize American agriculture. Dave is often called upon by conference organizers and the media as an expert in alternative energy, sustainability, and ecological farming. He has been interviewed over 1000 times for print, radio, and television shows.
