Like three times cheaper, and with double or triple production on equal amounts of land. ummm...grow hemp?

Look at the well-to-wheels efficiency of any organic fuel. This is basically the amount of energy required to produce it (in the case of oil, find it, drill it, and pump it, hence the "well"), transport it, refine it, distribute it, and then use it to haul your butt around. Ethanol as a fuel additive--not a fuel in of itself--has just moved above 1, or you can just barely get more energy out of it than what you put in growing, harvesting and processing it. Ethanol just doesn't have the bang that hydrocarbons do. Biodiesel is better. Hydrogen is very difficult to transport and is much better if you can produce it at the point of use, which is a good thing that research on solar cells that produce hydrogen is producing results. Anyway, there have been two alternative candidates that strongly spoke of alternative fuels.

Believe it or not HEMP produces more biomass per acre per year than corn or trees. 3 to 8 tons. I’m a HYDROGEN nut (1.29 volts dc to separate water)but when I see George with a corncob!!!

Just last week "60 Minutes" did a relatively enlightening piece on "E-85" ethanol fuels. They pointed out that Brazil just announced energy independence using ethanol extracted from sugar cane and "flex-fuel" automobiles produced right here in this great country. See the story: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/04/60minutes/main1588659.shtml There are many sources for ethanol and slightly used corn cobs may not even be the best source. Also, diesel engines can be made to run on straight vegetable oil. I am considering converting my diesel automobile using a home-grown straight from Yankee inginuity kit from Greasecar. See the link: www.greasecar.com Steve Rice. Dear Greg,
