| http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/incentives_laws.html | This site tracks tax incentives and related issues. |
| http://www.ttb.gov/industrial/alcohol_fuel.shtml | The TTB is a branch of the ATF. This page links to the ATF/TTB information with which you must comply in order to operate a legal alcohol fuel plant. |
| http://www.ttb.gov/industrial/forms.shtml | Alcohol fuel plants operating in the United States must fill out form "TTB F 5110.74" and submit it to the TTB before distilling any alcohol. Then one must also comply with local and state laws. |
| http://www.ttb.gov/industrial/small_alcohol_fuel_plant_packet.shtml | Small Alcohol Fuel Plant (AFP): "An Alcohol Fuel Plant (AFP) is one that will produce, process and store, and use or distribute distilled spirits to be used exclusively for fuel use. A small AFP is one that will produce and receive a combination of 10,000 or less proof gallons of spirits in a calendar year." (FYI: Basically, 1 "proof" gallon equals 2 "normal" gallons. Therefore, a "small" producer may make 5,000 gallons of ethanol fuel per year.) |
| http://www.alcoholcanbeagas.com/ | This is the guy that started it all! His book (over 600 pages!) and DVD are very good. Required reading, in fact. |
| http://acbagnetwork.ning.com/ | This is the "social" web site that supports "Alcohol Can Be A Gas." Unfortunately, it doesn't offer centralized data base or file sharing, so it makes a rather poor means of sharing information efficiently. It is a great place to sip your coffee and chat with the other denizens, but trying to mine out information -- well, good luck! But, still, you can find me roaming the cyber halls there! I'm not certain if that is a selling point or not! |
| http://www.amphora-society.com/ | This is a great site! All of their books are great reading, and if you are thinking about operating your own alcohol (ethanol) fuel plant, you should read each of them. These are also the guys that make the "PDA-1" still, which is what I am using for my own experiments producing ethanol fuel. |
| http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/alcoholfuel/?yguid=188021321 | This is a great group! There is a lot of good information shared here, a data base and file sharing that can actually be easily used, and many friendly people. What more could one ask? If the link is broken, go to "yahoo.com" and search their groups for "alcoholfuel" and you should find this exceptional group. So far it is the best group I have found serving those of us interested in producing your own alcohol (ethanol) fuel. |
| http://gillesenergies.webs.com/stillsforsmallproducers.htm | This page is about building your own still, but there is quite a bit more good information on this web site, so browse around! |
| http://www.ap.org/ | The Associated Press, news service. |
| http://www.reuters.com/ | Reuters news service. |
| http://talkradionews.com/ | Talk Radio News Service. I've never seen this before. But if it really is akin to Talk Radio you'll get some of the "other side of the story" which you won't see on USA-TV or read in the USA newspapers. |
| http://news.bbc.co.uk/ | Especially important for those of us in the USA. The BBC talks about world-events from a perspective Americans almost never hear. Although they do have the same "filthy humans are killing the Earth" bias as American press. |
| http://www.forbes.com/services/ | Forbes. A news service catering to Big Business! It's really important Big Business be given a voice! |
| http://www.bloomberg.com/news/worldwide/ | Bloomburg - Worldwide News. Also Big Business. |
| http://www.un.org/News/ | The United Nations. Listed only to be more complete. I expect however this is mostly about how Evil 1st-World Nations must raise taxes to support "More-Deserving" 3rd-World Nations (but really just pay-off dictators for a cushy kick-back). Then again, maybe that is just my Cynicism showing. You decide! |

Includes both a CHART and ONLINE CALCULATOR for finding the boiling temperature of various mixtures of ethanol and water! Very useful! |
