Daryl Hannah Interested In EPA Lifting Ethanol Fuel Limit
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 28th, 2010 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green.
Daryl Hannah lives in a solar powered home that she calls a “misfit circus” to abandoned and disabled animals.
Hannah’s use of natural energy to run her home is just one of several ways the vegetarian actress does her part to protect the environment.
Hannah arrived at a recent radio program in Santa Cruz with the 1979 Pontiac Trans Am she drove in Kill Bill, a sports car she has converted to run off 85% ethanol.
Federal regulations currently limit the amount of alcohol per gallon of gasoline to 10%.
The EPA is considering allowing states to increase this limit to 15%, but opponents argue that increasing the blend causes corrosion and overheating.
Although some doubt the benefits of ethanol to the environment, David Blume, an ecologist from the Santa Cruz area calls Hannah a “guru” and insists more education is needed.
“People just don’t know that alcohol fuel is a possibility,” Blume, who was later scheduled for a press conference encouraging the EPA to lift the restriction.
