[Terrapreta] ethanol media blitz

[naomi luckett]

Dear Kevin,
I also went to the site and I believed the point to be the thousand mark???
ie: 29,231 cobs?????
Maybe I also missed the mark? surely, you couldnt get a Chevy suburban to
run 20,000 miles on less than 30 cobs of corn!!!!!
If so...then sorry TP list...I am moving to Ethanol!!!!!!!!
