Kevin McCloud talks E85 and homegrown veggies with Saab

Posted by admin Published in Ethanol, Green, Saab

I’m starting to consider Saab’s series of interviews a sort of the high-class, glossy magazine of promo materials. Just look at the professionally-done photography that accompanies interview No. 2, which features Kevin McCloud. So much better than a graphics-free press release.

Anyway, everyone probably recognized the first interview subject in that series, Sir Richard Branson. But who is Kevin McCloud? He’s an architect-turned-environmentalist known increasingly in the UK than here in the U.S., as he is on Channel 4’s ‘Grand Designs’ there. For his sit-down with Saab, he talked about ways he’s greened up his domestic and lifestyle, including installing a biomass

boiler and growing his own vegetables. Conveniently, he drives a Saab BioPower car on E85. He plus envisions the opportunity of a one-fuel future many decades from now. In the meanwhile, all of the possibilities will duke it out to see what is the best for our long-term sustainability and availability. You can read the full interview here.
