Dear Dean,

I just love it when I read your positive statements about TLUDs, as in  
your message below.

But at the same time I am not fully convinced that you advocate or  
represent to the "outside world" the TLUD capabilities to the full  
extent that is needed.

Examples relate to informing the government agencies and the BIG NGOs  
(the management types that get the big grants and then take in  
sub-contractors) about TLUDs.  Those influencial people (who clearly  
consult with Aprovecho repeatedly) never seem to inquire very deeply  
into the TLUD alternatives.

At least those inquiries do not reach me or any of the other people  
known to be fully involved with the micro-gasification technologies.   
I prefer to not get into specifics about inquiries.  I would rather  
just see the flow of information improved so that the TLUD options are  
more widely known and fully represented at the important meetings that  
are occuring.

Better said:  You do not need to take upon yourself the full weight of  
responsibility of representing the micro-gasifiers.  We willingly  
share all of the TLUD information with you and everyone else, and we  
welcome all efforts to explain the TLUD alternatives.  Please continue  
as a leading ambassador of improve cookstoves around the world.  But  
we do not ask for the TLUD information to be filtered through one  
outlet.

Sincerely,

Paul
