Biochar and Bioenergy Co-Production: Protecting the Soil Resource and Combating Global Climate Change
Bioenergy production from agricultural and forestry biomass can boost U.S. energy independence, create additional income streams for agriculture and rural communities, and help combat global climate change by displacing fossil fuel use. Policies to promote bio-energy production from agricultural products must preserve the soil resources necessary to support adequate U.S. food and fiber production, which provide the basis for a continued strong U.S. economy.

From a discussion in the group Big Wind Biochar Dump Load Regulation.
An electrical pyrolysis load (microwave- infrared) allows excess wind energy to be used to maximize char and syngas production..syngas generators then produce electrical energy under low wind conditions,forming a carbon negative base load solution.
Biochar Soil Technology.....Husbandry of whole new orders of life
Biotic Carbon, the carbon transformed by life, should never be combusted, oxidized and destroyed. It deserves more respect, reverence even, and understanding to use it back to the soil where 2/3 of excess atmospheric carbon originally came from.

Unfortunately, I am unable to attend, but I am interested in hearing about the discussions and information that comes out of the Summit. I will also be following the College World Series in Omaha June 13-24. Rooting interest for the Oregon State Beavers (1980-85) and Gonzaga Bulldogs (1992-1995), where I attended college, well, maybe not as often as I should have...but I was enrolled there. ;-)
If you don't mind I will post your information about the Great Plains Energy Summit on our NW Renewable Energy group page. Discussions from that summit could be useful information for your neighbors to the West. We have a lot of wind energy plans being built in WA, ID, OR, MT, WY, CO, and UT. I live in Eastern WA, and our best wind is in the SW quadrant of the state, and along the Pacific Coast.

Jeezus boys,. we got daughters lookin' at this PP site!
The Hottie's pages are difficult to explain to my three girls.
lol !
Greg, what have you heard about Hydrogen ON Demand systems for buildings and vehicles?
Write back please.

Thank you for the friend invitation. We accept graciously.

Happy New Year Greg,
Last year I helped so many members of Pickens Plan learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about conservation of power, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my electricity costs. Send me a friend request a to add me Greg, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, Texas: I just posted an article link on my pickens page about Home Wind Systems in Texas. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "weak policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. Texas has created multiple sets of rules for loopholes and you have less rights than people in other states. You should read that article, important.
It has been a while since we kept in touch last!
We are now over 1.2 million suporters. We will need many more if we are to beat back the damn lobbyists and special interests. Can you help with the pledges? Every American needs to sign on. With pledges we can fan out and reach so many. It is an easy ask- Boone has done the hard work. I was able to get 300 signed in the first 4 days - everyone wants to to get off of foreign oil. We may never have a golden opportunity like this again!
ARE YOU IN?
Best
Kim
