David Blume’s Alcohol Fuel for
Sustainable Living Workshop

During this workshop, David Blume outlines how Americans can benefit from the production of clean, renewable alcohol fuel production and how local farmers  through these methods, can provide sustainable food and energy that will increase farm profits and financially revitalized local communites.

Seating is limited so sign up today:  David Blume Worshop Registration

David Blume is the author of, “Alcohol Can Be A Gas“.  Expert on ethanol alcohol for fuel.

This is a post that I had on my first site, altenergyradio.com, which I decided to change to this one.  I am now deleting that site.  I wanted to save/move this post.

Jean Pain is dead now, and has been for a few years.  He was a man ahead of his time, with lots of practical ideas.  Here is one of them.

I personally plan on doing this when I am relocated onto a farm.  If anyone of you has already tried this, or do try this, please pass along your thoughts and share it with us.

Jean Pain, a forest caretaker in south France, came up with a way to heat his water to 140F, get methane gas to use for his 5 bedroom house for cooking and generate electricity, and fuel his truck, PLUS fertilize his farm. Enough to last about 18 months. All this from a huge pile of woodchips. Watch these 2 videos to learn how!

Jean Pain – English – Part 1

Jean Pain – A french innovator who developed a compost based bio energy system that produced 100% of his energy needs. He heated water to 60 degrees celsius at a rate of 4 litres a minute which he used for washing and heating. He also distilled enough methane to run an electricity generator, cooking elements, and power his truck. This method of creating usable energy from composting materials has come to be known as Jean Pain Composting, or the Jean Pain Method.

I think this is a VERY practical home project, worth trying out. Personally, I will be, hopefully later this year. If I do, I will be sure to report all of the steps and the out come.

If anyone has duplicated this method, I would love to hear from you. Use the comment section below. Everyone is welcome to leave their comments too.

When I come across videos and information like this, I get excited!  Things are happening across this country.  Change is in the air.  Educational systems, people involved in local government are seeing the light about changing the way we live and conduct business.

The Sustainable Living Institute of Maui’s mission statement:

The Sustainable Living Institute of Maui is committed to optimizing Maui’s economy by helping people build skills that are compatible with the community’s cultural choices and economic aspirations; developing Maui as an exemplary and prosperous island that shares eco-effective methods with other communities throughout the world; and serving as a living laboratory and classroom for building and managing holistic communities.

If you know about other programs like this, be sure to let us know.  Help spread the word!

In case you didn’t know, David Blume is the author of “Alcohol Can Be A Gas“.  His mission is to bring a practical solution to our energy problems.  Plus other ideas and plans that are well worth considering.

I’ve just posted a couple of interviews with David Blume, and will be posting more soon.  To see the first two, go to David Blume Interviews.

More interviews and information on David Blume and ethanol alcohol will be forth coming.

If you know anyone in the U.S.A. who is working on producing their own renewable fuel, or some other sustainable/renewable project, that others would benifit from knowing about, please tell us about it.  Let that person know to that we would like to feature their project on our site.

This is a WIN-WIN-WIN situation.  They can promote what they are doing, and get back links to their site.  People reading about it can learn new or different ways to provide for themselves and strengthen their communities and country in the process.

All of us who know that there are alternatives that are practical, do-able, sustainable/renewable, better for our local communities, and country, need to get the word out.  Learn/share/DO!

Help us, help others and share what you are doing.  That’s what this site is about.
