Summary: KMO and author David Blume spell out the difference between ethanol as a huge corporate/government boondoggle and ethanol as a strategy for re-localization and bio-remediation. After that KMO visits with organic farmer Patrice Gros and two of his energized and idealistic interns. David Blume is the author of Alcohol Can Be a Gas!: Fueling an Ethanol Revolution for the 21st Century. In the podcast, I mentioned that we didn't have time for David to reproduce all the points about ethanol that I've heard him make on other programs. If you're interested in hearing more from David Blume on this topic, I would direct you to Alan Graf's Third Planet Report. David also appears in two episodes of Peak Moment.
