Question

Why does the usa not use hemp as an alternative fuel?

Answer 1

hemp oil works great as a fuel for gas engines. hemp has so many uses and is so easy to grow.

heres a two step plan for everyone out there who wants it to be legal for all the reasons the research has proven .

1. stronger paper that lasts longer

2. stronger rope fiber

3. clothing and textiles

4 fuel

5 oils and medicines

6 dietary supplaments

7. less people in our already burdend prisons.

the plan is simple create a virus the kills the cells and wipes out the genes that make thc worldwide then it can be legalized fro all the bennifits it has and the politicians can say they won as well. smoke all you want you'll never get high but all the benifits remain.

Answer 2

LOL  It smokes to much.

Answer 3

There has been much research into using hemp as a bio-based fuel. Unfortunately, the reserachers keep forgetting they were working on it and many have taken leaves of absence due to a common disorder known as munchies. This hemp research side effect is indicated by binges on junk food. Little Debbie jelly filled donuts seem to be leading side effect followed closely by various flavors of ice cream. A recent congressional panel that held hearings on the matter suggested back ground checks on researchers who will come in contact with the hemp. The Democrats on the committee blamed the Bush Administration for this problem. Polls taken by CNN seem to indicate that the issue could have traction in the primaries. Senator Clinton's primary advisor on this issue, former President Bill Clinton, has taken the issue to heart and compares the lack of research success on hemp to voters likely to vote for Obama. John Edwards speaking to a crowd of obvious union supporters in Osage Iowa, blamed special interest and lobbiest from big corporations for the failures of hemp fuel. He stated that no current hemp researchers will be allowed to work in his administration. Senator Clinton speaking in New Hampshire told a small group of special interest voters that she alone has the experience to get the hemp research back on track and promised to levy additional taxes on everyone to make sure the village we all live in has access to safe and affordable hemp fuel. Senator Dodd seemed to be confused by the hemp outcry from the party base and Senator Biden tried to answer the question on what he would do but unfortunately nobody was listening. Harry Reid call for immigration reform to allow illegals currently in the country to gain automatic citizenship as a way to increase the flow of hemp to the USA from Mexico under certain NAFTA trade guidelines.

im from australia and rekon this is a great idea.would definetly bring the price of weed back down.trades better prices than gold in oz.

Answer 5

That means they would have to legalize the plant - which would be bad for some politicians agenda to continue the culture wars.

Answer 6

Wow man....what was the question?

Answer 7

Well,

   Hemp oil is a great bio fuel. Not a fuel for gasoline engines. Hemp oil can be (and is) used as a fuel in the USA and is, just not widely. ADM processing (in Velva, ND) is a seed oil extraction plant that currently processes Canola seed oil into bio-diesel. That plant can be converted to process Hemp seed at little cost. When ND farmers are allowed to grow hemp ( the state has issued licenses, but DEA refuses to give the proper permits) this plant will be processing Hemp oil into bio-diesel.
