Baby It's Gold Outside...

 

It's raining money on Seneca CEOs down there in Eugene.  Even though every winter when cold  weather comes in and makes itself at home in Cascadia, sitting on our collective faces, so to speak, the State issues a warning: "Woodstove Warriors! Turn down the heat because your smoke is killing the rest of us."  So it's oficial; woodsmoke is harmful to human  lungs.  And yet Seneca Jones, Eugene's gift to the energy-go-round, Yet Seneca (Green!) Jones got $11 million dollars of taxpayers money to set up shop selling their version of a New! Advanced! Technology! Green! source of power.  And it's all based on rubbing two sticks together

(Something one learns in the Boy Scouts - but that's another story...innit?)

What's next for Seneca?  The invention of the wheel...
