New DVD - The Myths of Biofuels

The folks from the peak oil group in San Francisco made an excellent video called The Myths of Biofuels. It is quite scientific, but easy to understand. They are charging $7 for the video and give permission to duplicate it. If only we could get all of the US legislators to watch it . . .

The Santa Clara weekly ran a story describing David's excellent presentation that was the basis for the DVD. http://www.santaclaraweekly.com/453.html

Here is an interview with David Fridley about the consequences and logistics of attempting to make liquid fuels from plant matter to displace petroleum: http://www.globalpublicmedia.org/the_reality_report_the_myths_of_biofuel...

There is an enormous lack of understanding by US politicians regarding EROEI (energy return on energy invested) regarding both corn ethanol and cellulosic ethanol. Some of the misunderstanding stems from serious false assumptions in a report for the Department of Energy and the Department of Agriculture referred to as the "Billion Ton Study". David has reviewed this report thoroughly and discusses these assumptions. He also explains why neither corn ethanol nor cellulosic ethanol are sustainable and their negative impact on the environment.

Attached is an order form for The Myths of Biofuels.
