Previous interviews
MoFilms’ award winning Feedom Fuels video has an interview with Bill Kovarik in the first minute or so. It was also reviewed by Ed Begley.
For Ethanol, the Future is Now. National Public Radio — “By taxing industry alcohol with beverage alcohol, they basically put a bunch of distilleries out of business in 1860s and 1870s and opened the door for the Pennsylvania oil boom. So this was in a way a subsidy on petroleum.”
Greentrust — Literature review
Ethanol Producer Magazine — Moments of reflection, by Ron Kotrba
Agriculture Online – Ethanol: What Might have been, by Dan Looker
Green Auto Blog — If you – like me – are still learning lots about the ethanol scene, then Bill Kovarik has got some information for you (us).
Domestic Fuel – Here is a really interesting website with some very eye-opening history about fuel in this country. The website is authored by Bill Kovarik, Ph.D. who co-authored a book calledForbidden Fuel back about 25 years ago, which he is in the process of updating. I met him at the ACE meeting last month and finally got to call and interview him today. It’s a pretty long interview – and I cut it down by half! – but it only scratches the surface of the fascinating history that ethanol has had in this nation.
