[Stoves] Public lecture in US

[Roger Samson]

Hi Anil

This looks very interesting and covers a good deal of territory on rural
energy issues. 

My only caution would be the emphasis one the "High technology". It may not
be the best approach to rural development. I like the Chinese approach of
"step by step". It's also good to see technologies where there is
sophistication in simplicity rather than taking the road of high technology.
That's how we got stuck in a focus on liquid biofuels in North America and
nuclear reactors for power generation.  

In bioenergy development the approach that brings us the most energy
recovery is matching biomass quality with the end use application and keep
it as local as possible as bioenergy is a disperse resource. I am yet to be
convinced where biomass is disperse, the big bioenergy refinery concept is
at all workable from a financial or energy standpoint.

Regards
Roger Samson

Hello!

I am giving a public lecture on 21st March at the Patel Center in University
of South Florida in Tampa (http://www.patelcenter.usf.edu/events/). This
lecture is a part of the prestigious Globalization lecture series that they
have been hosting for last couple of years. Some of the notables invited to
deliver these lectures have been Wangari Maathai the Noble Laureate, Jared
Diamond, Dr. Jagdish Bhagwati, Dr.Gro Brundtland among others.

You are cordially invited to attend it if possible.

I have also prepared my speech and will appreciate if you can provide a
