Myths of Biofuels DVD
Dennis Brumm, of SFBayOil.org recently contacted me about a new DVD, “The Myths of Biofuels.” As I’ve yet to pick up a copy (but I will), I can’t detail to you, dearest and most gentle reader, the experience. However, I can and will include Dennis’ description (below). This is a public domain effort, meaning we can all freely copy and redistribute the DVD (provided it is chock full of, like, totally awesome information and isn’t a neo-nazi training video in disguise–which one has to admit would be fascinating, if repulsive).
From Dennis:
On June 7 of this year, David Fridley, staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley
Lab, active in San Francisco Bay Area peak oil groups, gave a presentation
entitled “The Myths of Biofuels” organized by the Post Carbon Santa Clara
Valley group. David (and I) were two of the people
who were involved last year with a Peak Oil Resolution passed by the San
Francisco Board of Supervisors, the first of its kind in a major American
city.
The presentation was taped and has been edited to DVD. It is now available for
the cost of materials and shipping spent to produce and distribute it. The
first run of 100 DVDs is complete, and the total cost of this run of 100 - to
produce and mail (1st class postage), allows us to make the DVD available for
$7.50 (US shipping. Elsewhere, there will be additional postage costs).
Eventually it is planned to have the entire presentation available online at
various locations (this will not be for a few months), but the quality of
information in the slides of the presentation, etc., as well as the ability to
use the indexing functions that DVDs would not be as good when it’s reduced to
flash video at YouTube, etc.
To acquire a copy of this DVD for your personal use or for showing to any group
etc., a form is available at this URL:

Links on the web page above will provide further information on the content and
production of the DVD. Alternatively, you can email me directly
(dennis@sfbayoil.org) with your name, shipping address, and for those kind
souls who may want more than one copy, the total number of the movies you
need.
You are encouraged to copy the DVD and distribute it as well once you have it.

So, there you have it. Go forth and order a copy!
