Backyard ethanol
As with biodiesel, you don't have to be a corporation to make ethanol -- you can make fuel alcohol in your backyard, and many people are doing just that, and running their vehicles on clean-burning alcohol instead of gasoline.
It's more equipment-intensive than biodiesel. You need a still, and you need to learn how to ferment beer. You can build your own still, and there's good information available to help you learn what you need to know.
You'll find everything you need in our Resources section and in the Biofuels Library.
Permits: In the US, home brewers need to get a "small fuel producer" permit from the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).

So does this mean that this delicious whisky will now be as common and affordable as plastic? Plastic is after all just a side affect of gasoline production so maybe now i could afford a good scotch :)

Henry Ford designed the famed Model T Ford to run on alcohol -- he said it was "the fuel of the future". The oil companies thought otherwise, however -- but the oil crisis of the early 1970s gave ethanol fuel a new lease of life.

Whisky is Scotch. Whiskey is not.

No worries, we all have learning to do, and this is a relatively obscure subject. Most bars incorrectly list "Scotch Whiskey"

If any one could discover how to run a car on whiskey, it's the Scottish.

See now I would of figured it would have been us or least someone from Tennessee. I would think the Scotts would use scotch.
