[Stoves] Fwd: March 2014 Update

[Ronal W. Larson]

Jock etal

	I am afraid we have not done as good a job as we could on any part of char-making stove promotion.  They also don’t say anything about CDR = Carbon dioxide removal.   They’ll get there eventually.  

	To others:    Jock is referring to a part of the message I forwarded earlier today from the Director of GACC.  I changed the font coloring, in case this comes through as unreadable as Jock’s version.
