Answer Is Hemp

[PFlynn]

While I read the various plans for what we should do to stay warm this winter and see firewood being stolen, I see the let-the-goverment-take-care-of-me individuals are out there.

There is the possibility to do that, but why and how will it be done. I recently stumbled on a Web site while looking at alternative fuel sources. The answer is hemp.

No, sorry, not marijuana, but rather industrial grade hemp.

We have the soil to grow it. It is renewable carbon neutral. We can use it for fuel both for home and vehicle use. The secret is that the government did it when we were short of oil during World War II, much like wood smoke digesters.

Go to Hemp Car if you want to see more. I am not advocating drugs. I am advocating a homegrown, totally renewable way to keep us warm in the winter, the lights on in the dark, the vehicle warm and the imported oil out of our tanks.

Wouldn't it be nice to say, "darn I just paid $500 for a year's worth of fuel." Farmers in Delta would have a rotation crop, while Palmer, North Pole and Two Rivers could go back to farming.

I would love to say I just paid $500 for a year's worth of fuel. My truck gets an average 14 mpg. (where i live is mostly highway though). Still, it would save me so much money in gas. I think our economy would be in much better shape if we used hemp for fuel.
