Reply #100: So a car running on a fuel is nonsense?

[abqmufc]

A fuel that research proves it uses less water to grow (than other plant based fuel alternatives), produces less carbon (when burned) is nonsense? (see hemp revolution video)

A textile that uses less chemicals than cotton to mature and less water than cotton is nonsense? (see same video)

This is what I mean. The facts are out in front of you. One should not make judgments but rather question what one means. I've spent over 10 years in the academic world researching this (nothing published), I've spent another 10 years working in the environmental policy field, mostly working with American Indian Tribes. Some of these tribes have attempted to exercise their sovereignty by growing industrial hemp for economic development (textile and fuel)....however, the Federal government has violated treaties and federal law and banned this.

This is how i know. I've spent years researching the potential of hemp as an ecological sustainable and economic sustainable replacement to petroleum. It won't work on a global scale as we don't have the water and land to do that....but it can and should be allowed to be researched. I suspect we'd find the benefits are pretty great.
