RE: [geo] Fuel switching for carbon negative electric power

2016-03-14 Thread Peter Flynn
One needs to be careful to avoid early negativity on any technology or approach to renewable energy, so on the positive side, this will almost certainly work. A further question is whether processing biomass is economic relative to simply letting nature dry the biomass, and then burning it. Answ

Thanks for posting this, Andrew. I haven't read Eric's book but have followed these methods among permaculturists and other regenerative farmers. I would just like to add that I don't think the climate benefits of regenerative agriculture are a simple function of sequestered carbon correspond
