Terra pretans and wee beasties all concur -- the charcoal is more important 
:-)>. We're gonna need a LOT of this stuff if we're going to impact the soil in 
any meaningful way. So, of course the 'energy people' will be lobbying for 
more bio-gas to feed our insatiable appetite, but in the long term, more 
charcoal in the soil could be of more profound benefit and might feed us on other 
more important levels. It will be a push me pull you for sure :-)>
