Former USDA Under Secretary Joins Earth Biofuels Advisory Board
26 February, 2009
Earth Biofuels, Inc. (Other OTC:EBOF.PK) (the “Company”) today announced that former U.S. Department of Agriculture Acting Under Secretary of Rural Development, Mr. Douglas L. Faulkner, has joined the Company’s Advisory Board.
Douglas L. Faulkner has served five United States Presidents, from Jimmy Carter to George W. Bush. In his nearly thirty year Executive Branch career, Mr. Faulkner held an array of posts, from the Central Intelligence Agency to the Departments of Energy and Agriculture and on issues from foreign policy to trade to technology and economic development. His first job in Washington, D.C., was as an aide to the late Edward Madigan, a former Illinois Congressman and Secretary of Agriculture. He later was a senior policy adviser to two Secretaries of Energy.
Mr. Faulkner is co-Founder and President of Chrysalis Energy Partners (“Chrysalis”) which is based in Washington D.C. Earth Biofuels will utilize Chrysalis, and the experience of Mr. Faulkner, to help develop the Company’s tactics and strategy, assist with working relationships with the various federal agencies, chiefly the Departments of Agriculture and Energy as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, and assist with effectively seeking funding and regulatory/policy assistance.
Mr. Faulkner served the Bush Administration from 2001-08 in a number of high-level positions at both the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy, including Acting Under Secretary for Rural Development and the Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
.
Mr. Faulkner has been at the center of the federal government’s efforts to expand global markets for renewable energy and energy efficiency. While at USDA, he played a key role in the passage and implementation of the landmark energy title in the 2008 Farm Bill, which contained significant new funding and legislative authorities for the Department. He played a key leadership role in the Global BioEnergy Partnership and the U.S.-Brazil biofuels initiative. Mr. Faulkner also oversaw other significant rural programs, including business and cooperative development, housing and broadband.
Mr. Faulkner and his counterpart at the U.S. Department of Energy, Mr. John Mizroch, steered the development of the 2008 “National Biofuels Action Plan”. This plan was created to accelerate the development of a sustainable biofuels industry in the United States, and focused on sustainability, feedstock production, feedstock logistics, conversion science and technology, distribution infrastructure, blending, and environment-health-safety.
At the Department of Energy, Mr. Faulkner proposed a bold and responsible budget for fiscal year 2007, launching seminal initiatives in bioenergy and solar power. He oversaw an annual budget of over a billion dollars for green energy research and development. Under his direction, management reforms replaced an outdated organization with a smaller, more streamlined workforce, saving millions of dollars and increasing productivity.
Earth Biofuels, Inc. endeavors to produce and distribute biodiesel fuel and cellulosic ethanol through wholesale and retail outlets. The Company’s Web site is www.earthbiofuels.com.
