    It’s good to know that THE FORBIDDEN FUEL, the definitive history of alcohol fuel will be re-issued in spring 2010 by Bison Books, a division of University of Nebraska Press. The new edition will contain a significant amount of new material including: 1)A Foreword written by R. James Woolsey, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency for two years under President Clinton and a close observer of biofuels; 2)A New Introductory Chapter which explains the explosive growth of the biofuel industry and the controversial issues surrounding it, and 3)A new appendix on the economics of ethanol.

    What is remarkable about the new, re-issued book is that all three of the original authors — Bernton, Kovarik and Sklar — are still avid observers of the biofuel industry and the issues related to it. All of them were involved in developing the new material in the re-issued book while Hal Bernton wrote the new introductory chapter.
    In the original edition, published in 1982, many of the issues — food vs fuel, environmental effects, even global warming — surrounding biofuels were examined. The new edition goes even further, taking into account new studies and developments about these issues and provides new information about the cutting edge of research and development pertaining to Cellulosic ethanol, algae fuels, new battery technologies and the advent of electric cars with generators that can burn fuel containig as much as 85% ethanol (E85).
