As part of its "Noted Environmentalists Lecture Series", the Environmental Learning Center (ELC) in Vero Beach Florida, along with the Indian River Land Trust, is presenting a talk on Wednesday, January 21 from 6:30 until 8 pm about Biofuels called "Getting Gas From Garbage".

Dr. Ann C. Wilkie, the 2007 winner of the 2008 Florida Energy Achievement Award, will be presenting the information. Her current research project involves biodiesel production from algae. A quote from Dr. Wilkie: "Fossil fuel is fossil thinking."

Dr. Wilkie can be heard discussing waste energy production in these clips from "The Florida Environment" radio program:
