Answer 1

It's also good for sealing pipe joints.  I'm not making this up, plumbers in Australia use it all the time instead of teflon tape.

It swells when it absorbes water making it ideal for gaskets and seals.

I also remember when kids playgrounds had lots of hemp rope.  It's great for climbing and soft on kids hands, not like modern nylon rope.

Answer 2

Actually some have but efforts from DEA and antidrug folks keep it away from legitimate uses.  The oil content is actually quite high no pun intended, and it can grow in bad soil.

Answer 3

Bio fuels are in use. In fact, they helped in the rise of food prices that is affecting the poorest in the world.

Answer 4

To this point, bio fuels have been a disaster world wide. As to using hemp specifically, I do not know if it a viable alternative, but corn and other bio fuels are causing food riots and the destruction of the rain forests.

Answer 5

Because everyone was running onn a one track mind and depending so solely on oil like it was going to last for ever

Answer 6

because they would loose their monopoly on crude oil, they will find it too hard to tax bio fuel, and every second person would make his own fuel, more loss to the goverment then.

Answer 7

I currently run Bio Fuel (straight vegetable) in a 1999 Dodge 3500 truck. But all Cummins engines were modified from the factory to run on BioD since around 1992 without any modification.

Most vehicles are already equipped to run on Alternative Energy. In fact you’re probably even driving one right now and didn’t even know it. Go to www agua-luna com for a list of this vehicles

Ethanol doesn’t go bad like petroleum it’s just Alcohol. It’s what preserves your wine and gets better as the years go by.

Ethanol is a much cleaner fuel than petrol (gasoline):



It is a renewable fuel made from plants

It is not a fossil-fuel: manufacturing it and burning it does not increase the greenhouse effect

It provides high octane at low cost as an alternative to harmful fuel additives

Ethanol blends can be used in all petrol engines without modifications

Ethanol is biodegradable without harmful effects on the environment

It significantly reduces harmful exhaust emissions

Ethanol's high oxygen content reduces carbon monoxide levels more than any other oxygenate: by 25-30%, according to the US EPA

Ethanol blends dramatically reduce emissions of hydrocarbons, a major contributor to the depletion of the ozone layer

High-level ethanol blends reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 20%

Ethanol can reduce net carbon dioxide emissions by up to 100% on a full life-cycle basis

High-level ethanol blends can reduce emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by 30% or more (VOCs are major sources of ground-level ozone formation)

As an octane enhancer, ethanol can cut emissions of cancer-causing benzene and butadiene by more than 50%



Sulphur dioxide and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions are significantly decreased with ethanol.

Lastly and my favorite.. It can be made at home.

It will cost about $1.10 to $1.20/gal to make the alcohol from various feed-stocks like corn, barley, potatoes, or Jerusalem artichokes. You will also have by-products which you can sell or use as animal feed, reducing the total cost down to about $.95/gal.

Biofuel is recognized by both the US Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy as an alternative fuel, and qualifies for mandated programs under the Clean Air Act Amendments and the Environmental Protection Act of 1992 (EPAct).

USDA Clears Air with Biofuel: Buses and other diesel-burning vehicles run cleaner if they mix biofuel with regular diesel fuel, said the US Department of Agriculture at a biofuel fuel seminar at a USDA research center.

Conversely most major automotive manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, etc) recommend the use of bio fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

In fact your probably even driving an ethanol car and didn't even know it.

The trick is finding fuel.

I've been producing biofuel for about 3 years now, it's not extremely difficult. Basically you need general household ingredients, a processor (or still for ethanol) and some used oil. Blend it, let separate, screen and use. I complied a guide a while back to help walk you threw the process step by step, just email me or check out..

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Answer 8

Henry Ford was going to use Hemp Oil on ALL of his Model T's and A's when they first came off the assembly line.  He was approached by J. Paul Getty who pointed out to Ford that his cars would run for 500,000 miles on Hemp oil but would need parts after 100,000 miles if Ford were to use Petroleum Oil.  Ford got greedy and went with Getty's suggestion.  Hearst had converted all his presses to run the whitened paper that the DuPonts had just patented even though WHITE paper produces a GREAT deal of toxic water with which they poison all the streams and rivers throughout the country.  Hemp clothing lasts virtually forever.  Children in Hungary who wear hemp pants end up handing them down from brother to brother and they last for about 40 years.

IT'S ALL ECONOMICS ..... WHICH IS SPELLED G-R-E-E-D!

The Ruling Families can make MORE money by making and keeping hemp ILLEGAL.  Hemp rope is stronger than sisal.  Hemp wallets never wear out.  It just goes on and on.  

The Constitution of the USA was written on Hemp Paper.  The curtains in the White House back in the day and all the way up to around 1935 were made of hemp.  Same with the carpets.  Hemp was a BIG part of the US economy up until the Families told the govt that they wanted it illegal.  The govt had to start a campaign!  Not against HEMP but against DRUGS.  They changed the name to Marijuana and came out with those now-famous movies that show how people DIE on marijuana.  Yeah right!  

People complain that the cost of corn is beginning to skyrocket now due to the fact that they are turning it into ethanol.  Imagine if they allowed hemp to grow like the weed it is all over the fields of Ohio and elsewhere.  I'm told that RJ Reynolds and many of the tobacco companies have vast fields of marijuana in other countries and they are just waiting for the govt to legalize it.   But will the Ruling Families release their strangle hold on the govt and marijuana?  NOT too likely.  BUt we can always hope!

:-)

Peace ... Hemp Rules!  CAn you imagine what pollution would smell like if all the cars were running on hemp oil and hemp fuel?  Sweeeeeeeeeet!  Would everyone in Los Angeles be high on life or high on fumes?  :-)
