[Terrapreta] Ad idea for Best Energies

[Mary Lehmann]

Strange reasoning that anything using the electricity from the  
pyrolysis of charcoal is itself taking the CO2 out of the air.  By  
that reasoning, if I use flashlight batteries with electricity from  
the same source, I am taking CO2 out of the air when I turn on my  
flashlight.  ???
