[Terrapreta] ethanol media blitz

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi Lou,

It is somewhat difficult for me to want the Terra Preta message (what I view as valuable) associated with the "sensational, paranoid, and/or and outrageous", just for exposure?  TP doesn't need the stink of that kind of exposure, I don't think.

Regards,

SKB

  NO DOUBT ABOUT IT FOLKS. 
  THEY ARE TARGETING BRAZIL AND ECO FOLKS IN GENERAL. 
  I THINK THE DETROIT/OIL COMPANY/AGRIBUSINESS ALLIANCE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CHALLENGED.


  So you folks with networks, etc can now make a story of it. Don't hesitate to spin conspiracies or whatever, or to sound paranoid or outrageous. Sensational is good, it makes it fly around the Internet. And it carries TP along to who knows where. 

  Go for it.

    VERY INTERESTING OBSERVATION.

    It feeds into my speculation that they are somehow feeding the ad into Brazil. In the Portuguese style, 29 thousand is written as 29.000.

    That's my guess.

      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!!!!!!!!

        Dear Lou

        I wento their Cornulator Page, where tehy calculate the cobs of corn
        used and teh BBl's of fuelk saved, using one of their vehiclesd, and 
        knowing the expected annual mileage. See:

        http://www.gm.com/explore/livegreengoyellow/<http://www.gm.com/explore/livegreengoyellow/>


        For 20,000 miles in a Suburban, I'd save 42 BBL Oil, and would use 29.3
        cobs of corn. That seems like an excessively huge savings claim.  That
        is trhe equivalent to 1 BBl of oul saved for each cob of corn nused to
        make ethanol.

        This doesn't seem to hang together. Anyone have an explanation? 

        Best wishes,

        Kevin
