Some of it is scary, some of it bonkers, some of 
it might help, but it is all very expensive.  I 
have a bid in for some myself, although it's a 
more benign form than you read in the 
papers.  Biochar is not geoengineering, mind, 
it's rather sensible and promising, and does not 
share the dangers of biofuels.

Cheers, Tom
