  Fact: you get higher octain fuel from hemp.
-Farming 6% of the continental U.S. acreage with biomass
crops
would provide all of America's energy needs.
-Hemp is Earth's number-one biomass resource; it is capable
of
producing 10 tons per acre in four months.
-Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol, or gasoline
at
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....
