What Goes Around, Comes Around
Make Ethanol in Your Own Backyard
A Silicon Valley start-up called E-Fuel is showing exactly how ethanol can live up to its name as “the people´s fuel.” The company recently announced that it will soon start selling a home ethanol system, the E-Fuel 100 MicoFueler, which will allow anyone to make ethanol from sugar, water, yeast, and electricity in their own backyard.
Still, they didn’t claim this was a new idea.
“What, you can run a car on that, too?”
(Reminds me of the story about someone who sold bricks of dehydrated grapes during prohibition, which included step-by-step of instructions of what not to do, lest you end up making some illegal alcohol)
