Backwoods Still Brings Cheap Auto Fuel To Alabama
An ex moonshiner Albert Hubbard and civil rights figure Albert Turner have built a low-cost corn alcohol still near Selma. They produced a test batch funded by a federal grant and aim to market fuel at about 6 to 12 cents a gallon, challenging oil interests and federal skeptics. The pilot plant uses junkyard materials and a car radiator to condense alcohol for engine use. Local residents, including a minister, have tested the fuel, while Treasury agents monitor the operation.
