David Blume | The Alcohol Conspiracy & The Road Map To Energy Independence
Waste Donuts, Permaculture, and Low-Cost Fuel Production
In a personal anecdote, David Blume describes producing alcohol fuel for ten cents a gallon using waste products from a San Francisco donut shop. By processing the starch and sugar from discarded donuts and using the separated fat as a heat source for the still, he created a self-sustaining fuel production cycle. This example illustrates the permaculture principle of utilizing local surpluses.
