ITS TIME TO TURN HEMP into ethanol and other products?

Question

We should never be again held to ransom over oil..is It time for payback?

Answer 1

It is past time to use hemp as an alternative to oil where applicable. Hemp has so many uses and a false connotation that you can get high from hemp.

We also need to focus on solar, wind, hydro, and really look into a battery that could power a car for 500 to a 1000 miles without a charge.

Payback? I dunno, but time for a paradigm shift, oh h**l yeah!

Answer 2

The more I read about hemp the more I like the idea of using it to it's fullest potential. Another good plant is Sweet Sorghum has a much higher energy potential than Corn.

Answer 3

Forget it Hemp is the enemy of the oil Companies and Dupont .

the people who today oppose hemp used to be the biggest producers.

Because hemp also makes fiber for clothes that is cheaper and superior to synthetic material which comes from the petroleum business

these are owned by the people who are behind the Law makers

and they do not want competition that will easily overrule their own products ,

The money involved is billions.

That is why Marijuana consistently ,even in the light of favorable research ,continues to be outlawed,and despite countless analysis and appeals to just about every president since

But it will not become legal especially the fiber plant

which is no good for smoking any way

today Marijuana fiber is making a come back in Europe and Africa and produce designer pantaloons and shirts for very high prices because the quality is superior than linen.

these fiber plants do not produce drugs to speak of and are worthless for the drug market .it is the fiber that is the value.

and organically speaking it is an excellent plant to recuperate tired soils ,after cattle and corn field have practically destroyed the land,because the plant is deep rooted grows on most altitudes,and breaks open or loosens compacted soils as well as secreting nitrogen.

.the stalks can also be converted in to building material such as blocks

the plant has medical value ,for asthma and neurotic complaints

makes paper, clothes and oil .

even bio fuel

and much more

Nevertheless the opposition continues
