Hemp for Energy

The entire world economy is run by fossil fuels, and hemp is the ideal replacement for a new energy source. No other plant can compare to its ease and rate of growth. It can be grown in almost any climate and even
in poor quality soils. It requires less water than most other crops and can thrive without herbicide or pesticide use. It is the most biomass rich plant on the face of the Earth, producing four times as much potential as its nearest rival, corn.
Through the use of hemp biofuels, every country, family and individual would become energy independent and not have to buy energy ever again. Hemp seed oil can also be made into paint, varnish, detergent, solvents and lubricating oil totally replacing fossil fuels all while being biodegrad-
able and ecosystem friendly.
Hemp converts the sun’s energy into cellulose faster than any other plant and can produce 10-tons of biomass every four months for every acre grown. Hemp could supply the entire energy demand of the United States on only 6% of its land.
The use of hemp for energy will mean the total replacement of petroleum, coal and nuclear power
on our planet.
With the revival of hemp we can forever
erase the word ‘deforestation’ from the
dictionary, and completely
eliminate pollution and toxins from our environment.
