    ETHANOL, THE ULTIMATE HOME BREW. The first question has driven Floyd Butterfield for more than two decades. Butterfield, 52, is something of a legend for people who make their own ethanol. In 1982, he won a California Department of Food and Agriculture contest for best design of an ethanol still, albeit one that he could not market profitably at the time. Now he thinks that he can, thanks to his partnership with the Silicon Valley entrepreneur Thomas Quinn. The two have started E-Fuel, which soon will announce its home ethanol system, the E-Fuel 100 MicroFueler. It will be about as large as a stackable washer-dryer, sell for $9,995 and ship before year-end.

    Is it possible to return to $1.00 per gallon fuel costs? Is Ethanol the sustainable answer?

    I sure hope this isn't just vaporware.

"The MicroFueler will use sugar as its main fuel source, or feedstock, along with a specially packaged time-release yeast the company has developed. Depending on the cost of sugar, plus water and electricity, the company says it could cost as little as a dollar a gallon to make ethanol. In fact, Quinn sometimes collects left-over alcohol from bars and restaurants in Los Gatos, California, where he lives, and turns it into ethanol; the only cost is for the electricity used in processing."
