Florida Energy Innovators
As promised, The Fueling Station begins today a series of reports focusing on some of Florida's own home-grown energy solutions. They are drawn from different energy fields, and vary greatly in size from big to small. But they share one thing in common: all are the product of enterprise and ingenuity, as well as a good deal of financial courage and sacrifice.
Florida currently lags behind the rest of the country in the quest for alternative energy sources, producing only three percent of the energy we consume. But that is beginning to change. These are some of the persons responsible for helping us catch up. The Fueling Station takes its hat off to them.
We would like to thank the Technological Research and Development Authority (TRDA) in Titusville, for assisting us in the search for Florida energy solutions. Please don't hesistate to let us know of any other worthy ideas we may have overlooked.
We begin our Florida Energy Innovators series with Dr Jose Sifontes in Gainesville and his waste transformation bioreactor system ............
Nice site. I posted a story about the new blog on DomesticFuel.com (http://domesticfuel.com/?p=904) and will be putting a link to you on as well. Hope you will be covering Commissioner Bronson's Farm to Fuel Summit in Orlando this week. Wish I could be there!

This site is exactly what is needed to help "kick off" Florida's alternative fuel program. A learning tool and information highway.Most folks driving a flex fuel vehicle (FFV) are not aware. The dealership are selling vehilces to our fellow floridians and have not informed them that they may have just made their best purchase. They now have the choice to use either fuel. Now we need to get the fuel flowing. Folks the FL laws have been changed so we can now dispense E-85 in Florida, aks you local fueling station when they will start providing the fuel.
