Fuel Freedom Foundation today announced that John Hofmeister has joined the Foundation’s Board of Directors. Hofmeister will continue to serve as a member of FFF’s advisory board. This new title allows him to expand his role within the organization.
Before the recent jump in oil prices put low costs in the rear-view mirror, American drivers had a brief taste of the 1990s at the pump. Now Eyal Aronoff and Yossie Hollander and former Shell Oil Co. president John Hofmeister say the U.S. could make low prices permanent if more ethanol and methanol from cheap natural gas are added to the mix.
“As I say to people when I introduce the film, it’s not about our hate of oil but our love of the car,” Hollander says. “It’s an optimistic film.”
After a successful nationwide theatrical release last fall, the eye-opening documentary PUMP is now available Netflix. Directed by Josh Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, with narration by Jason Bateman, this engaging and inspiring documentary tells the story of America’s addiction to oil, from its corporate conspiracy beginnings to the monopoly it enjoys today.
MPG-o-matic is the website and YouTube channel of Daniel Gray, best-selling tech author, and lifelong automotive enthusiast. Gray preaches the gospel of fuel economy to thousands of subscribers through car reviews, news about the latest in alternative fuels, and videos tips on modifications anyone can do.
PUMP has left the movie theaters and is now available from online outlets. If government and commercial fleet managers, as well as ordinary consumers, see how easy it is to switch, America could be swept by a sea-change reduction in our dependence on foreign oil.
The last two years’ experience with electric vehicles proves that clean fuel technologies can compete with oil, and the continued strong sales of the last few months prove it, even at oil’s new price.
Long term, Fuel Freedom Foundation believes in an “all of the above” strategy, including EVs. In the near term, the group believes one way to give consumers fuel choice is converting existing cars to use gas, ethanol or methanol.
Fuel Freedom Foundation Chairman and Co-Founder Yossie Hollander appeared on the Newsmax TV program “America’s Forum,” hosted by former Congressman J.D. Hayworth, to discuss fuel choice and what’s needed to achieve it.
Michael Leven, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Georgia Aquarium, and a longtime supporter of philanthropic endeavors, has joined Fuel Freedom Foundation’s board of advisors.
