Biofuels on Parade
September 08, 2007


Did you make it to The Eco Experience at the MN State Fair? If so, you probably saw "The Path to Cleaner Air" exhibit from the American Lung Association of Minnesota. Here, I talk with ALAMN's Bob Moffit about the clean air benefits of biofuels, namely E85 (ethanol) and biodeisel. I also talk to a soybean farmer and a race car driver who runs on E85.

There's a lot of distorted information about ethanol out there. This MNspeak thread hits most of the big ones. Ethanol has its problems, but it is a less polluting fuel, made from renewable resources by American farmers.

Minnesota has more E85 stations than anywhere in the country, which means we've got an alternative energy distribution system in place for when even better solutions (switchgrass, etc.) come along.

This may have been produced by ALAMN, but it was paid for by AgStar Financial and the Farm Bureau.

Neither AgStar nor Farm Bureau financed this short video, Tom.

Just using a little New Media to spread the word on what Minnesota has been doing with biofuels.
