Carter stock in Tech Air Now Worth Over a Hundred Thousand
James Gerstenzang reports that a $10,000 Tech Air investment by Jimmy Carter during his Georgia governorship has grown to about $133,320 after American Can Co acquired Tech Air shares and then the stock collapsed to zero. Carter’s blind trust trustee, Charles Kirbo, avoids disclosing holdings while noting no disposal has occurred. The process Tech Air developed turns peanut shells into oil gas and char, with the oil sold for fuel and gas used to dry shells.
