[Terrapreta] Guts and garters stuff

[Robert Hayes]

Okay, with cheaper and more efficient batteries coming soon biomass CHP
could recharge the transport & machinery used just beyond the farm gates...
as well as the ventilation fans, pumping, greenhouse heating...
Powered by the slash, wane and chips transported from the local woodlots &
clearing operations within a reasonable radius or other seasonally available
stover or ag-wastes.
Woodgas trucks could bring materials into the pyrolysis CHP area.
Much fuel could be brought into the drying hoop shed areas while in the off
season waiting for the fields to become ready.  Using the same fuel.

Conversions would begin to make sense to many farmers this WEEK.  Much
better than just sitting there with prices over $4 gal.  Workshop
demonstrations showing how-to when made available would spawn much
imitations.

Compared with fuel costs for "conventional" fossil fueled vehicles these CHP
and/or transport would produce acceptable char.
There it is - right at the farm gate.  As a consequence of typical
operations.  Negligible per ton.
With more additional char as time or activity allows.
The secondary sense would come into play when the market responded by
producing again such beauts as that Aktiebolaget Volvo w those Hesselman
controls.
