[Stoves] [Gasification] "ecogas" defined

[Ron Larson]

Paul, Kevin etal

    Interesting dialog on names.   The American Solar Energy Society has had 
long discussions on similar topics - as the name "solar" 50 years ago 
included wind and biomass.  Now "solar" has a more narrow meaning and 
"renewable" energy is the more inclusive term.

    The term "green" has its proponents.  The ASES chapter in Ohio is called 
Green Energy of Ohio (GEO).

    But I also know that considerable effort was put into other 
descriptors - with one (non-ASES) group ending up strongly favoring 
"clean" - as getting across what they desired.  So I toss out the name 
"cleangas" as another possibility.  (Here referring mostly to CO2 as the 
"non-clean" pollutant, but possibly applicable to CO and particulates as 
well.)
