We don’t need and never needed gasoline

October 3rd, 2008 Gennaro Brooks-Church

The fraud: We need gasoline. The truth is we don’t - and we never did.

Scientific and historical Facts about gasoline and alcohol:

1. The original automobiles ran on alcohol because when they were invented gasoline was not available.

2. Rockefeller spent $4 million (that we know of) to promote Prohibition, a ban on alcohol manufacturing in the US that started in 1919 just as the car industry was taking off.

3. When Prohibition was lifted in 1933, gasoline stations were ubiquitous and most engines ran on gasoline only.

4. Alcohol can be manufactured locally and on a community level from renewable plant material for $1 per gallon.

5. The growing of plant material for alcohol would have no effect on the price of food.

6. The growing of plants for fuel would more than neutralize the carbon created by burning alcohol for fuel.

7. In Brazil, over 50% of new cars sold can already run on 100% alcohol.

8. Producing alcohol from plant material is incredibly energy efficient.

9. The oil companies aggressively promote “science facts” to deceive the public into believing that alcohol fuels: a) will cause starvation, b) are uneconomical, and c) are net polluters.

10. Gasoline is a high toxic material.

11. It is entirely unneeded to fuel our cars.

12. Oil companies like Chevron have pressured PBS, commercial TV networks and other news media to keep this basic information from the public for decades - and the censorship continues to this day.

If this massive deception were to be busted, it would:

1. remove the reason that many wars are fought today

2. revitalize the world economy, especially in rural area

3. instantly increase the wealth and health of every
person on earth

Energy from Algae

July 5th, 2008 Gennaro Brooks-Church

I am increasingly fascinated by energy and how to make it. Once I realized that my corner restaurant (literally fifty feet away) can provide me with enough cooking oil to convert into gasoline to power my modest driving needs I was totally liberated from the box.

Here in the US, and to a lesser degree everywhere else, we are enslaved into a mentality that gas from the local Exxon Station is the only way to power our mechanical transportation, that Electricity from ConEdison’s power grid is the only way we can light up our house, that gas from KeySpan is the only way we can heat our house….

But these conceptual monopolies are completely erroneous. It is easier than we think to heat our hot water with the sun and drive our cars with water. For me this is the greatest awakening since, well, yesterday when my son was born, you get the point.

Here is a vid about getting vast amounts of energy from algae, which makes total sense. The lower you go in the food chain the more pure the energy gets. Another idea is getting energy from the increasing volume of algae invading the oceans (due to global warming).

Your Fat Is Fuel

July 5th, 2008 Gennaro Brooks-Church

America has a HUGE wealth of untaped energy: their own fat.
As we all know Americans on average as fat. And the fastest growing medical procedure is liposuction - producing billions of pounds of fat each year. You can run a car off cooking grease from a restaurant. And you can run a car off fat from a fat man.

It is called “flab gas”.

From SF Chronicle:
“If the concept of “flab gas” leaves you flabbergasted, prepare for a shock. Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital reportedly has signed a deal to supply Norwegian entrepreneur Lauri Venoy with 3,000 gallons-per-week of liposuction leftovers harvested by its clinics. This bio-fat could produce 2,600 gallons of biodiesel, sufficient to fuel a Hummer for a year.”
