That's why we should make fuel from hemp. It doesn't take nearly as much
coddling as corn does. It grows MUCH MUCH faster than corn. It grows more
densely than corn. Then the byproducts can be used to make anything from
paper to a construction material that is much lighter than, but also much
stronger than MDF.
Of course it would be alot harder for the energy companies to use the old
"supply and demand" excuse to make record profits with a profit margin that
is almost 10% greater than most products.
