Warfare center places Point on global stage Peninsula’s interface buoys Navy mission BY ANTHONY GENTILE | THE BEACON
The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) in Point Loma gave Peninsula residents a peek this week into what it does. Officials from the Navy lab, which is dedicated to development of warfare technology for government and private entities, held its annual public forum at the Hervey/Point Loma Public Library on Aug. 31. “Our community is a global community. But what we do globally
wouldn’t exist if we didn’t have the support of the community that we have locally,” said SSC Pacific commanding officer Capt. Mark Kohlheim. “The command couldn’t succeed without local community support.” At the 2 1/2-hour session, community members learned about SSC Pacific, what it works on and about educational outreach efforts in the community. A question-andanswer session followed. “We have to have a dialogue SEE NAVY, Page 4

Rep. Bob Filner said he is optimistic that the California Coastal Commission’s (CCC) Aug. 13 decision to deny the city a secondarytreatment waiver for the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant will be overturned within two months. Filner said he is optimistic even though he has yet to receive a response to his letter to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger asking the governor to overturn the commission’s decision. “If we don’t hear from the gover-
nor, I’ll follow up on it and we’ll introduce legislation and try to pass that within a few weeks,” Filner said. “We expect within a month we should be able to get back on track on this stuff.” Filner said that in addition to his own letter to the governor, the city is simultaneously appealing the decision to the U.S. Department of Commerce. If neither of those pursuits work, Filner said he will craft the legislation. “We’re going along those three tracks and we’re working on all of SEE WAIVER Page 7

Ex-Midway Museum payroll head pleads guilty to fraud BY NEAL PUTNAM | THE BEACON
The former payroll manager for the USS Midway Museum pleaded guilty Aug. 26 to grand theft and fraudulent appropriation. Veronica Gonzalez Monay, 35, of San Diego, acknowledged the $111,000 embezzlement seven weeks after San Diego police arrested her July 8. She had worked for the museum for three years. San Diego Superior Court Judge Michael Smyth set sentencing for Sept. 24. Monay faces a maximum term of four years in prison and made "no deals" with Deputy District Attorney James Teh. However, Smyth indicated he might consider probation and work furlough if she qualifies, according to court records. The thefts began on April 3, 2007 and ended on Dec. 30, 2008. Museum president and CEO Mac McLaughlin declined comment when Monay was arrested but did say the museum reported the embezzlement to police. Monay was convicted of a similar crime in 1997, but the finding was reportedly expunged. Monay has not been able to post $100,000 bail since her arrest and remains in the Las Colinas Detention Facility in Santee. "She is extremely remorseful for what happened,” said Gretchen von Helms, Monay’s attorney. “She will be ordered to pay restitution, to make full restitution. She is

working to cash out her 401(k) (retirement account)," which would be turned over to the museum. "She definitely wants to do what she can." The museum, whose exhibits include 25 restored World War II aircraft, is located at 910 North Harbor Drive alongside the Navy pier. When the Midway was christened in 1945, it was reportedly the largest ship in the world. Approximately 225,000 men and women served aboard the ship, the longest-serving naval aircraft carrier of the 20th century, from 1945 to 1955. The museum is a popular tourist attraction and boasts the most visits to a floating ship in the world.

City to revisit traffic calming along Sunset Cliffs BY ANTHONY GENTILE | THE BEACON
The nagging issue of traffic calming on Sunset Cliffs, spearheaded by the Slow Down Sunset Cliffs effort started a year ago, became a key topic of the Aug. 26 meeting of the Ocean Beach Town Council (OBTC). A representative from the city’s Traffic Engineering Division was
on hand and decided that a new traffic study will be done in the cliffs area. The town council supports Slow Down Sunset Cliffs’ efforts in the matter, according to OBTC board of directors president Jim Musgrove. “The city traffic and engineering people are going to come out and do another more in-depth study into the actual traffic flow, and
we’ll see how that turns out,” Musgrove said. “Our point is that the data they were using was old and, most likely, flawed.” Musgrove said the city will schedule the traffic analysis as soon as the citizens group presents locations and dates for survey to the town council. SEE TRAFFIC, Page 7

Answer:
Even sophisticated clients forget to change their wills when they remarry. This would result in everyone being unhappy because a judge would have to be involved. Some clients inherit money or property and forget to add it to their trust, resulting in a probate. The other day I added 2 new children that were born to some clients several years before. If you want to leave money to new grandchildren, nieces or nephews, you must include them in the list unless you have given a gift to "all the grandchildren alive at the time of your death."

Sea-based garbage patch sampled BY JULIE KINYOUN | THE BEACON
For 20 days this past August, a group of oceanography students from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), accompanied by public service organization Project Kaisei, traveled through the North Pacific Ocean Gyre to sample plastic debris and garbage in the ocean. The Scripps Environmental Accumulation of Plastic Expedition (SEAPLEX) voyaged from southern California to the coastal waters of Hawaii and back to Newport Beach, Ore. It took a first magnifying-glass look at the extent of plastic damage in the North Gyre. SIO director Tony Haymet described the trip as “a forage into the great plastic garbage patch in the north” during a press conference held on Aug. 27, about one week after the expedition returned. The voyage on the research vessel New Horizon was led by SIO graduate student and scientist Miriam Goldstein, who initiated the trip with a funding grant she wrote to gain use of one of the revered SIO research ships. In summary of the research data collected on the ship, Goldstein stated, “We did find debris… coming up in our nets in over 100 consecutive net tows over a distance of 1,700 miles… It is pretty shocking.” She pointed out how unusual it is to pull up the same thing over and over again in different parts of the ocean and surmised that it must mean “there is a lot of plastic out there.” Summarizing their findings, she said, “[There is] not a big island, not a garbage dump [that we] can really see easily.” She

described it more as a place where large debris floats by a ship only occasionally, but a lot of tiny pieces of plastic exist below the surface of the water. “Ocean pretty much looks like ocean,” she said. The plastic fragments are mostly less than a quarter inch long and are below the surface. The New Horizon vessel was equipped to take physical measurements in the ocean, such as temperature and salinity levels, that will help the scientists examine ocean currents. They hope to correlate that data with what they learn about plastic in those areas. This type of subsurface sampling associated with plastic debris had previously never been done. “[We] have a lot of work to do before we are able to say anything about definite impact on marine life,” said Goldstein, adding that analysis of the data collected on the voyage will be a lot of work in the months ahead. However, with the variety of expertise and backgrounds of scientists on the ship, the data will be examined from many different scientific angles. Specific areas of analysis will include the following: toxicity, influence on ocean animal feeding, invasive species, changes in nutrient cycles and alteration in food webs. Focus will rest on the density, size and type of debris with regard to these and other specific scientific research areas. One example of analysis includes that of the fish team, which will look at the guts of the fish for plastic ingestion and analyze accordingly. The toxicologists will specifically examine the transfer of toxic
chemicals. “[We are] very fortunate to have a group of diverse interests working together on this project,” Goldstein said. Overall, they are concerned with how biogeochemical processes that are generally not well understood are affected by the presence of plastics in the ocean. Goldstein called the magnitude of the analysis “scary and complicated.” Doug Woodring, co-founder and project director for Project Kaisei, said that one of their follow-up activities for the expedition is to “help disseminate the findings to a broad audience, including policymakers, business/industry leaders, educators and the general public.” Project Kaisei aims to garner support for future activities related to possible climate and land-based prevention programs. Woodring called the partnership with SIO “an important step towards finding realistic solutions whereby Scripps can provide scientific results and Project Kaisei can provide outreach, inspire solutions and create new fund-raising opportunities.” The group hopes to take an expedition to the South Gyre and collect more data. This expedition would require a larger boat, as the waters in the southern hemisphere are rougher. With partners, SIO plans to raise funds during 2010-11 and gather enough scientists and equipment to execute a successful expedition south. Researchers speculate the plastic accumulation in the South Gyre is twice as much as that in the North. For information, visit www.sio.ucsd.edu.

SSC Pacific has been on the Point for seven decades and has four “campuses” on Point Loma. It currently has 4,157 employees, 234 of which are in the military. SSC Pacif-
yard sheen is pretty small," Denphy said. The Coast Guard is investigating the spill to determine its source. The potential suspect could be fined. No beaches were closed or wildlife reported endangered, according to Dunphy.

It is a Navy working capital fund, which means SSC Pacific essentially acts like a nonprofit, required to charge for hours worked and account for any expenses it incurs. “That is a very challenging environment to operate in, but the good news is our revenue and the demand for our services continues to grow,” Keeney said.

Since 1991, the Tuna Challenge has raised over $1.8 million and grown to be the largest tuna fishing tournament in the United States and the single biggest fundraiser for the San Diego chapter of the Make-AProceeds from this event help to fund 25 percent of the wishes granted each year in San Diego County.

projects have an emphasis on the cyber arena. “Looking at the new technologies that are out there and how do we capitalize on them to provide increased capability to fortify them and then how do we protect that,” Keeney said. Of current projects, Kohlheim said SSC Pacific has had a large return on its investment in nonlinear dynamics, the study of systems in which a small change can create a large systematic change. An example of nonlinear dynamics is a submarine detecting a discreet signal in a busy environment. Kohlheim also mentioned asymmetric warfare, which is conflict between two sides that are unequal in military and economic status. He said terrorist and pirate organizations affect commerce and the overall quality of life. “Those are really hard to track and our technologies are helping us become more aware of our envi-
ronment, things showing causal factors and things we can see predictively,” Kohlheim said. Another area of activity that Kohlheim brought up is hybrid warfare, which includes terrorism. What Kohlheim called “soft power,” hybrid warfare also involves working with emergency response specialists in the event of a natural disaster. “We have to deploy strike groups out to prepare for major war,” Kohlheim said, “but we also have to prepare for a natural disaster and coordinate with first responders. Other than the national capital region, San Diego is most prepared in cooperation and operability than any other city in the United States.” An area where SSC Pacific works heavily with the private sector is through its Office of Technology Transfer, which is what is done after a patent is created. SSC Pacific director of science, technology and engineering Gary Wang said
small business innovative research generates between $36 and $48 million per year. “We want to support innovation, not just here at the lab but being a part of a culture of innovation in San Diego,” Wang said. One of SSC Pacific and SPAWAR’s biggest concerns is the lack of the younger crowd among its ranks. SSC Pacific science and technology project development head Dr. Jim Rohr said the average age at the center is about 40. As a result, SSC Pacific created an educational outreach program last year that included 55 educational events to engage students interested in math and science. They also have had internship programs for high school and college undergraduate and graduate students since 2002. “The long-term challenge is the development of the next generation of scientists and engineers,” Kollheim said. “We need to incentivize people to go into that.” Although SSC Pacific does not offer public tours or open houses, it is trying to reach out to the local public via the Internet. Both SSC Pacific and its Office of Technology Transfer have Facebook and Twitter pages that are updated regularly. Keeney said she hopes efforts such as these will build SSC Pacific’s relationship with the local community. “It would be great if it was mutually supportive so that we understand the priorities of the Peninsula community and can help support those and ensure that we’re doing things in good conscience with the community,” Keeney said.

COMMENTARY
Dugard case should spur capital punishment debate By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN On June 10, 1991, 11-yearold Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped on her way to school in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. Today, the whole world pretty much knows what happened after that. Two heads-up U.C., Berkeley police employees cracked the case on instinct alone last month, with Dugard and her daughters Angel and Starlet thrust into the spotlight. Dugard and the girls, apparently fathered by Dugard’s rapist, are the central figures in a grisly, almost otherworldly tale of captivity, slavery and, happily, joyous reunion. Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy, allegedly held Dugard and her daughters in their Antioch backyard for 18 years, a compound of tents and heavy flora shielding them from view. There’s been some talk about bad police work surrounding that arrangement, chiefly in the person of an officer who didn’t inspect the lay of Garrido’s land as judiciously as the law allows. That allegation, along with several others inside the mountain of paperwork this matter will generate (including the suspicion that Garrido killed as many as 10 prostitutes), will play itself out in due course, with as ideal a result as Dugard’s rescue itself. But there’s a bigger issue at work here — that of the justice society will exact from the Garridos, who this week were on suicide watch at the Contra Costa County jail in Martinez. As things stand, they could face multiple life sentences on 29 felony charges. Meanwhile, one newspaper reported that they may be subject to the death penalty. And although that information is inaccurate, it does spark a certain concept of just deserts in the minds and hearts of an outraged public. I’ve always been pretty liberal in my sociopolitical views — the way I see it, you only go around once, and I’d prefer a far less provincialized society around me to that end. Capital punishment, however, is an issue I take a certain heed on, because we’re supposedly a society of laws and not of men. It’s absolutely true that no per-
son has the right to sit in judgment of another, especially in matters of life and death — which is why we have 12 jurors, not one, and a series of alternates to hear most criminal cases. Moreover, we have decades of trial and error and an avalanche of documentation in our attempts to conform the punishment to the crime; even after all that, capital punishment still stands as a legal consequence in many quarters for the most heinous offenses. I’ve been thinking about Jaycee’s case a lot because it touches so close to home. Recently, someone very dear to me was horrifically injured at the hands of an exboyfriend whose jealously had inexplicably turned militant. Her recovery is proceeding miraculously; the perp is in for the judicial ride of his life. There’s a small, sick part of me that wishes him the gravest of ill in the days ahead — but in this society of laws, governance must come first. It’s the nature of that governance that may bear new scrutiny. Plea bargains, prison overcrowding, milquetoast judges, confusion over legal rights and responsibilities in the Internet age: All seem to erode the rule of law, under which we enjoy a greater degree of freedom than without it. Dugard’s ordeal is an ideal case in point. Garrido broke the law, it’s said, by holding her captive for nearly 20 years, during which she may never have seen the light of day. If the Garridos (and my gunman) are found guilty, society will have sanctioned what everybody’s thinking — that they deserve retribution under the fullest extent of the law. I’m just not so sure the fullest extent is full enough. That decades-long trial-anderror routine featured escalated sanctions amid varying degrees of offense. Likewise, maybe it’s time to revisit the capital punishment phenomenon, framing it as a last-resort declaration of our better selves. — Martin Jones Westlin is editor of Downtown News, a sister publication of The Peninsula Beacon.

New flight path changes Point Loma landscape As reported by the Beacon over the past several weeks, San Diego Lindbergh Field’s Taxiway C construction will alter the flight path of westerly aircraft departures. To accommodate timely aircraft operations during peak periods, the traditional 275-degree departure track will be supplemented by an additional 250-degree departure track. This new track will launch jet aircraft directly over a new set of homes, businesses and schools. The Peninsula Community Planning Board Airport Committee [PCPB] (check out www.pcpb.net) has been working hard at mitigating the new noise challenges that this change will bring to our community, but with little success to date. As reported following the PCPB’s Aug. 20 meeting, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Airport Authority will not budge on their plans to add this more southerly departure path, negatively impacting this new section of Point Loma. Although the new 250-degree track is allowed by law and has always been available, the airport has chosen not to use it based on a handshake agreement with the surrounding community years ago. However, FAA manager David Borcalli has stated, “We’ve never signed anything.” Apparently, the FAA and the Airport Authority are determined to break this handshake agree-
ment and implement a new swath of noisy departures. In my thirteen years living in Loma Portal I had, until last week, never seen a jet depart Lindbergh south of the 275 track, but that’s now changed with the taxiway construction. And once the additional gates and capacity are added to the airport over the next several years, you can bet these 250degree departures will become commonplace. Going forward, this issue’s negative ramifications have the potential to grow exponentially. We are fortunate that Taxiway C construction has afforded us an opportunity to develop long-term plans. I implore Point Loma residents to challenge this additional noise signature across our neighborhoods. The Quieter Home Program does not account for this southwesterly track, so our homes, businesses and schools will surely feel the brunt of this wholesale change to the peninsula’s landscape. If a handshake agreement isn’t strong enough, let’s get something in writing to protect our property values, businesses, and quality of life.

a barreling wave for his efforts and was stoked at his performance. “I was up against every age group, including 17- to 25-year-old guys and girls who were swimming circles around me, but I picked quality waves and pulled it out,” Loughridge said. Loughridge competes for fun and camaraderie with a small group of hardcore bodysurfers up and down the coast, but he has enjoyed the thrill since his youth. “I started when I was 9 years old and bodysurfed the Wedge in Newport Beach, which can get pretty big and challenging, until I was around 17,” Loughridge said. The Wedge is a notorious surf break which refracts ocean swells off the north-end jetty of the Newport Harbor entrance into much bigger, thicker waves that explode in shallow waters close to shore. Brave bodysurfers have tackled these crushing tubes for decades now, and it draws large beachside crowds to watch the punishing rides. During the recent big swell in July that hammered the Southern California coast, the Wedge produced 15-foot grinding monsters that tragically swept one bodysurfer to his death on the jetty rocks. These days, Loughridge gets up at 5:30 a.m. three days a week and swims laps at his local YMCA pool. “The key to competing is swimming,” Loughridge said. “I also hit the ocean daily, even in the winter. I’m an animal. “There are a number of us that go out, like the O.B. Lugnuts, a group of around 15 that enjoy bodysurfing locally. O.B is my training grounds,” he said. Those unfamiliar with bodysurfing might consider it a difficult sport to judge in a competitive nature. “I can understand that, especially since it is mostly our heads that are visible in the wave,” Loughridge laughed. Judges look for length of ride, the type of takeoff, spinning moves and other factors. “I use a butterfly stroke to elevate

In other news, candidates vying for the eight open seats on the OBTC also spoke during the meeting. Active members of the OBTC are currently voting to decide who will fill the board’s upcoming vacancies. “The candidates for the open seats all spoke and asked for the support of the members,” said Musgrove. “They spoke about their backgrounds, their service to the community, their willingness and eagerness to serve the town council going forward.” Voting for the board of directors will continue through Sept. 5. Musgrove said the vote is being done via computer with an electronic ballot to make the OBTC more “green.” Once the votes are tallied, candidates will be asked to attend a closed meeting and the successful candidates will be introduced at an induction dinner on Oct. 6 and seated at the Oct. 14 board meeting. OBTC meetings are open to the public and held the fourth Wednesday of every month at the Point Loma Masonic Lodge, 1711 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. For more information, visit www.obtowncouncil.org.
and launch into a takeoff on a wave,” Loughridge said. “There are different techniques like the underwater dolphin takeoff to help your performance. Plus, I use Victory Wetsuits’ rash guards and special order, seven-inch Viper swim fins for more control.” Like any sport, there are certain individuals who stand out in the bodysurfing world of competition. “Tim and Pat Casinelli, Chris Lafferty from La Jolla, Mike Cunningham, John ‘The Claw’ Shearer from Hermosa Beach and Sue Scatolini from Ocean Beach are a few of the best,” said Loughridge. Being a total waterman, Loughridge respects their skills. “I have a trailer in Baja and ride a surfboard down there, but bodysurfing is twice the workout,” he said. “It can beat the crap out of you.” On the weekend of Aug. 22-23, Loughridge entered the 33rd World Bodysurfing Championships held at the Oceanside Pier. “The granddaddy of bodysurfing competitions,” as Loughridge put it, with 270 others who competed in different age groups, ranging in age from 12 to 80. Among those competing was former San Diego Chargers general manager Bobby Beathard, who has won the 65 & Over Men’s Division several times.

“It was four- to six-foot (waves) with a current that was pulling guys into the pier,” Loughridge said. “I did well on Saturday, but overcalculated and got bumped in the semi-finals on Sunday.” Not a problem for Loughridge, though. There is another contest in Santa Cruz at the end of September, along with bodysurfing meets held at Manhattan Beach, San Clemente, Ixtapa, Mexico and at the Pipeline on Oahu’s North Shore in Hawaii throughout the year. “The competition is fun,” said Loughridge, “but I just do it to keep motivated, stay healthy and have a good time in the water.

them right now,” Filner said. “I think at one of those three levels we’ll be able to reverse the decision.” Filner said he believes the governor can act immediately, while the Department of Commerce can act within a few weeks after the city’s official appeal. The legislative route would take between four to six weeks, he said. “I authored [previous] legislation which gave the last two waivers. Nothing has changed and I figure we can do it again if we have to,” Filner said. Filner said he supports the waiver because he thinks the cost of secondary treatment does not offset the current effect the plant has on the ocean. He has worked on this issue for 22 years in multiple levels of government. “If I felt we were doing environmental damage, I’d be the first to yell for new treatment processes,” Filner said. “We’re doing very infinitesimal environmental damage and having to waste $1.5 billion to go to a law that does not recognize the conditions that we have here.” On Aug. 13, commissioners
Nothing has changed and I figure we can [secure a waiver through legislation] again if we have to. REP. BOB FILNER
from the state Coastal Commission unexpectedly voted 8-1 to deny the waiver. The waiver would have allowed the plant to operate below the minimum federal environmental standards for pollution. A waiver was previously granted in 1995 and 2002. The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant has been open since 1963 and is located at 1902 Gatchell Road. According to the city, the facility treats about 175 million gallons of wastewater per day. The outfall pipe extends 4.5 miles into the ocean. District 2 Councilman Kevin Faulconer declined to comment on the issue, and inquiries made to the office of Mayor Jerry Sanders were not returned.

area’s students.” Downtown’s Chris Leyva, a Best Local Recording award nominee for his album “27,” notes that he uses awards night to blend business with pleasure. “It’s definitely the party of the year,” Leyva said. “But it’s also a great opportunity for bands to meet local producers, DJs, TV personalities and so on, as well as for fans to meet their favorite performers, including some real surprises.” Indeed, past attendees would have seen presenters or guests at the event such as John Stewart (The Kingston Trio), Ike Turner, John Entwhistle (The Who), Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (The Doobie Brothers) and ’60s icon Johnny Rivers, among others. According to Ocean Beach resident Chuck Schiele, who is nominated with his band Bad Science Fiction in the category of Best New Artist, there are several reasons the awards are important. “Until this event came along, the music scene here was hardly recognized,” Schiele said. “Now that it’s part of the San Diego annual expectation, I’d say the city is a hundred times more aware of music than it was before the event was conceived.” Schiele said he welcomes the added competition an awards show brings. “While extremely civil, the competitive spirit is silently present,” Schiele said. “It has been my observation that everyone tries to write better bridges and play better chops due to that competition. That’s good for the scene.” Point Loma resident Sol Turpin, bassist with 40 Oz of Freedom, nominated for the second time this year in the category of Best Cover or Tribute Band, agrees that the awards have given music in San Diego greater visibility.
WEDNESDAY
Ocean Beach-based Bad Science Fiction is a nominee for this year’s San Diego COURTESY PHOTO Music Awards in the category of Best New Artist.
“It brings a lot of attention to the local scene and that can only be a help,” Turpin said. “Earning a nomination certainly doesn’t hurt. It’s definitely a nice feather in your cap.” For Pacific Beach resident “Happy” Ron Hill, nominated in the category of Best Local Recording, the awards are a form of validation. “Everybody wants to be included,” Hill said. “It means that what you do has begun to be noticed.” Hill said he attends the show whether or not he scored a nomination. “When else are you going to get a chance to mingle with over 1,000 of your peers? Especially when they are all in a celebratory mood,” Hill said. Schiele also considers yearly attendance a must. “For me, its a great way to see all my music pals who are also, finally, off on the same evening as I am,” Schiele said. “As a concert event, it’s a class-A production. I’m honored to be part of such a cool, important, collective celebration.” Whether you are a die-hard or casual local music listener, the

GreenHouse Energy (GHE), a barely three-year-old San Diego company on Santa Fe Street, wants to make the ability to convert the byproduct of brewing beer into a clean-burning fuel as commonplace as brewing a strong pot of coffee. GHE has created E-fuel MicroFuelers, which convert spent beer yeast and sugar waste into cleanburning ethanol through the processes of fermentation and distillation. The company aims to sell these consumer-size machines to local businesses and private residences to brew their own beer fuel. To make their business model run, GHE requires large amounts of organic waste. Breweries and wineries alike were logical providers, and GHE President Russ Earnshaw knew early on he wanted to work with one brewery in particular. “Karl Strauss is a great local brewery,” Earnshaw said. “They have a well-known name and want to be on the cutting edge of green energy solutions, so we thought it would be great to step in and open up a relationship with them.” GHE is also partnering with Stone Brewery and Gordon Biersch. The nuts and bolts of GHE’s method consist of combining spent beer yeast from Karl Strauss Breweries with sugar waste to create an organic concoction called feedstock. The feedstock is then distilled to create ethanol with potable water as a byproduct. The
beer yeast, which has a slurry consistency like soft-serve ice cream, can be reused 10 to 20 times before it is spent. GHE currently uses sugar waste from Sunny Delight and is looking to partner with some wineries. “In a week we create 2,000 to 3,000 gallons of spent beer yeast,” said Karl Strauss quality control manager Shawn Steele. “It costs us money to dispose of and has not been 100 percent recycled. Now [GHE] will collect most of that spent beer yeast to recycle.” Both companies look forward to forming the symbiotic relationship as GHE receives its crucial distillation ingredient for free. In exchange, the Karl Strauss Brewery on Sante Fe Street will receive an E-Fuel MicroFueler free of charge. According to the GHE website, all the MicroFueler needs to properly function is a 110-volt electrical hookup, a water supply with a drain and a connection to the Internet. “This process will require three kilowatts of electricity to produce one gallon of ethanol, which, in turn, will create 23 kilowatts of electricity,” Earnshaw said. The distilled ethanol will be stored in a 50-gallon tank that comes attached to the MicroFueler, which owners will be able to pump straight into their gas tanks. “Our MicroFuelers take up the same amount of space as a regular washing machine and have pretty much the same requirements to function,” Earnshaw said. “Through the Internet connection, each machine will be hooked up on our global network-
ing system.” The connection between GHE and its MicroFuelers means the company will know if its machines need more feedstock or need to be repaired, relieving the owner of much of the stress. After a quick and inexpensive conversion procedure, ethanol will be safe to use in any vehicle manufactured after 1991, according to Earnshaw. GHE is prepared to set up and install its trademarked distillation system at any location and keep it filled with an unlimited supply of feedstock. In the case of a repair or malfunction, GHE technicians will be available to perform the required maintenance as well. The warranty for the MicroFuelers lasts for 12 months, and the life span of the unit is estimated at 30 years. The real obstacle is the cost of a unit, which hovers around $10,000 for the machine and its installation. Consumers will also be required to pay GHE $2 per gallon for the fuel, a price not expected to fluctuate. According to the GHE website, however, customers will be eligible for federal tax rebates that could reduce the cost to $6,998. The state of California also offers a rebate program that could cut the cost even further. On July 30, GHE staff celebrated the first installation of the E-Fuel MicroFueler at CEO Chris Ursitti’s house. GHE plans to distribute the MicroFuelers to buyers by November and already has orders for more than 100. For more information visit energy.greenhouseintl.com.
