It's publication day for ETHANOL: A HEMISPHERIC HISTORY FOR THE FUTURE OF BIOFUELS. Want to know why the US turns 40% of its corn crop into fuel? How the US and Brazil became the world's two largest ethanol producers? Tom Rogers and I have answers.

If I can now buy a bioluminescent petunia at Home Depot, I'm sure plant geneticists can make bioluminescent corn. Can you imagine how awesome the Midwest would look at night? Can we make this happen people?
I don't know how Amazon's algorithms work, but ETHANOL: A HEMISPHERIC HISTORY FOR THE FUTURE OF BIOFUELS is now 20 percent off in hardcover. It's a lot of energy history for less than five gallons of gas in California!

One month away from the publication of ETHANOL: A HEMISPHERIC HISTORY FOR THE FUTURE OF BIOFUELS. Tom Rogers and I describe the linked history of the US and Brazilian ethanol programs for the first time. Online pre-order available now.

@DerekKrissoff To be fair, there is a lack of intellectual diversity among university administrators. Almost all of them want their institutions to survive and even thrive. Gee thinks differently!
@biofuelslaw re: Trailblazer, any discussion of Wyoming's "make carbon dioxide great again" bill? (https://t.co/NNgrpbbsug) If passed, would this put Wyoming's primacy for Class VI wells at risk?
@biofuelslaw Worth noting that the Chemical Foundation's final audit of that Atchison plant found that it lost $300k-$600k before closing. Frank Uëkotter has a good 2021 article on it (and the larger 1930s chemurgy movement)

"By answering the call to defend Alberta’s oil industry against a critical public and politicians in Ottawa, Canadian petroleum became more than just a job for these women; it became an identity and a way of life." - @jeffmanuel

@joguldi Word of warning: double-check installation & connections of any system you get. My friend’s under-sink filter sprung a leak from the water supply line and it flooded the whole first floor of the house. The (expensive) system used cheap, brittle plastic connectors.
