[ExI] Satoshi Nakamoto

[Keith Henson]

Spike, if you want to attempt to sell the idea to Spokane, be my guest. I
will help any way I can if you can get someone interested.

I don't think Spokane has excess renewable electricity or a place to store
syngas, but I might be wrong on both points.

Best wishes,

Keith

PS. I know you don't think more CO2 is a problem, but I think it is causing
rising temperatures, and that is making big fires more common. If the
process were mostly using biomass and making fuel, it could become a large
carbon sink. Making fuel requires using the water gas shift to raise the
hydrogen in the feedstock and sorting out the resulting CO2, which can then
be sequestered if you have a place to put it.
