Hello everyone!!

*I just got off the phone with Chris Amico who is very excited to start reporting on cement kilns in Northern California and their attempt to curb C02 emissions.

*Specifically he told me to thank everyone and to say “I won’t let you down.”

*As for Spot.Us – we are super-amped and excited that we have another example of “community funded reporting.”

*Right now we are working our pants off to get spot.us up and running as soon as possible: http://blog.spot.us/2008/09/08/status-update-from-spotus-moving-forward/

THANK YOU ALL. UPDATES WILL APPEAR AT THE SPOT.US BLOG AND WE’LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THIS STORY IS PUBLISHED!!!!

Sincerely,
David Cohn
and the spot.us team.
