Dude that would be a dream come true! I would love nothing more than to wake up to fresh air instead of this stupid smog filled air. Hopefully the people of this state and this country for that matter will open their eyes to this wonderful creation. We definitely need more people like you in this world ford442.there is no question.. even if this exact bill that passes isn't perfect, it will be a huge step in the right direction!!
also i assume that if pot is legal then hemp and ditch weed is legal also - a HUGE win!! california will invent the new way to use hemp for construction, industry and fuel and lead the world in innovation in green energy once again..!
Thanks Ford442. Those are some very interesting facts. I'm happy to hear that hemp has so many uses. Lol, is there anything mary jane can't do?thank you! thankfully we seem to have quite a majority in cali thinking like me - something like 55% in the official polls..
welcome to RIU btw it is such a great forum - i am here every night..
we were just discussing in another thread how weed actually can power cars!!! i still do not know the ins and outs of this.. i may do some googles right now on the subject.. but, what i know right now is that Henry Ford invented automobiles with the intention of running them all on hemp - therefore it can work.. also let me grab this youtube... here is Henry's all hemp car - http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=23679905 (30 seconds MUST WATCH!!)
ahh - here is the deal -
Compiled from Jack Herer.com Fuel:
- Farming 6% of the continental U.S. acreage with biomass crops would provide all of America's energy needs. 1
- Hemp is Earth's number-one biomass resource; it is capable of producing 10 tons per acre in four months. 1
- Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol, or gasoline at a cost comparable to petroleum, and hemp is much better for the environment. Pyrolysis (charcoalizing), or biochemical composting are two methods of turning hemp into fuel.2
- Hemp can produce 10 times more methanol than corn.
- Hemp fuel burns clean. Petroleum causes acid rain due to sulfur pollution.
- The use of hemp fuel does not contribute to global warming.
