[Terrapreta] pulverizing charcoal

[Roy Lent]

What does the cement mixer run on? There are many ways to do this by using
petroleum. Of course, those ways release more carbon to the atmosphere than
the char preserves in the soil. In the pulverizing party idea, realistically
many of the people present will be fueled by petroleum based foods so, as
amusing as it may be, it's not really that good an idea.
