$1 Per Gallon Car Fuel Produces Green Jobs For Tennessee

March 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Press Release: March 5, 2010 - Amazon bestselling author and alcohol fuel expert, David Blume, will be holding an energy independence workshop in Nashville showing how communities can financially revitalize their local economy with green jobs by producing alcohol car fuel for $1 a gallon or less. Alcohol fuel is a clean renewable energy source that is good for the environment, supports sustainable organic gardening and agriculture methods, and leads to increased food production.

On March 20th and 21st, David Blume, author of "Alcohol Can Be A Gas", will lead a comprehensive two-day workshop at the Lipscomb University's Shamblin Theatre. The workshop, which focuses on economic revitalization, green jobs and local energy independence through small-scale Alcohol Fuel production methods, has been organized by the International Institute for Ecological Agriculture (IIEA) in conjunction with sponsors such as Ford Motor Company, Mid-Atlantic Renewable Energy Association and BetterFoodBetterLiving.com.

"The workshop is being offered for the first time in Tennessee and we see small scale energy production as a major factor in helping community leaders revitalize their communities with "Green Collar Jobs" and helping farmers to become more profitable" an excited Mark Mayes of BetterFoodForBetterLiving.com says.

"IIEA Workshops are open to the public," adds Mayes, "but seating is limited to only 150 attendees, so be sure to register early as seats are going fast!" This in-depth workshop costs only $270 and registration can be made online. Friday evening the 19th, there will be an attendee only social mixer where registrants will get to form regionalized workgroups, meet David Blume, the IIEA team and event co-sponsors. "It's an opportunity of a lifetime and due to David Blume's schedule, this will probably be his only workshop this year - so don't miss out", advises Mayes.
