Congressman Ron Paul is right. Hemp is a great alternative energy that we should be using to solve our energy and global warming problems. As biomass, hemp can be used in many energy plants. Anything toxic energy can do, hemp can do better because it's non-toxic, for starters.
Hemp biofuel burns clean and while it grows removes the excess CO2 from the atmosphere, the cause of global warming.
Please support all elected and appointed officials who support removing government restrictions from nature's healing plant, HEMP.
HEMP: NATURE'S SOLUTION FOR ENERGY & CO2 POLLUTION
The above webeo may prove to have historic significance in turning the tides of our energy and excess CO2 global warming problems. Hemp produces clean energy and removes excess CO2 from the air as it grows.
"Fuel. Hemp can also be used for the production of methanol.
According to World War II production rates of hemp per acre, we can produce the equivalent of 10 - 15 barrels of oil from one acre of hemp.
If we use the production rates that are in evidence in countries currently producing hemp, we could produce the equivalents of 20-30 barrels of oil per acre of hemp.
Can we fuel the nation with hemp?
The answer is YES!
According to United States Agricultural statistics, in the United States we have an excess of 950 million acres of farm land.
Of that land we planted in 1987 some 450 million acres.
This leaves some 450 to 500 million acres un-planted.
In order to produce the amount of methanol to fuel all of our transportation needs, we would need to plant some 12-34 million acres of hemp.
This would produce the biomass necessary to fuel our country."
This webeo explains how in 1980's energy needs, we could grow our way out of the energy crisis with hemp using only 34 million acres of unused farmland. If our energy needs quadrupled since then, we're only talking about 136 million acres of farmland to grow enough energy to power our needs. Double 136 and it's still only 272 million acres of farmland to solve our energy and have an impact on our environmental crisis. The aftermarket products that come from this vast resource material can have a positive impact on our economy and health care (life empowerment) systems.
Since hemp is a weed, it can grow in many places, inside and out, to contribute to solving our problems now. We're talking hemp biofuel and biomass to power engines cleanly while removing excess CO2, the cause of global warming, from the air as it grows.
YES, WE CAN DO IT NOW!!! WE JUST NEED TO THROW OFF THE LAWS OF DEAD PEOPLE THAT ARE KILLING US, LIKE HEMP BEING ILLEGAL TO GROW.
Hemp is nature's way to remove the oil from the land and change it into useful items like energy.
Hemp is a biomass champion that is 4 times more efficient than corn as biofuel.
Hemp energy pellets burn clean as biomass to fuel the nation's electric plants.
Anything toxic energy can do, hemp can do better.
The question is 'How many hemp acres do we need to grow our way out of this energy crisis in modern times?' The next logical question is how much hemp do we need to grow to remove enough CO2 to have a reversal impact on the global warming crisis. Research on the second will be posted shortly in a separate blog entry.
Looking beyond the webeo above, let's get to real world calculations. The film clip from Time4Hemp's webeo from the film the BILLION DOLLAR CROP does not explain if they calculated one or 4 crops per year per acre.
We're looking at different energy reference sites for how much energy do we need as a nation and as a planet, given the reality that we all are one. Below are some research links we're using, and will post others here for consideration.
'How many acres do we need to grow our way out of this energy crisis?'
"Total world energy use rises from 462 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2005 to 563 quadrillion Btu in 2015 and then to 695 quadrillion Btu in 2030 (Figure 1). Global energy demand grows despite the sustained high world oil prices that are projected to persist over the long term. "
2. How many "barrels" "acres" can exceed the nation and the world's projected energy needs?
Of course an effective energy strategy is one that combines clean energies like wind, solar, hydro, magnetic and other biofuels. Working together, we can create a better world for future generations, the real purpose of life.
Tell the politicians, 'we don't need no toxic energy.' Any energy strategy that can hurt us and/or generations ahead should be turned off and replaced with clean, natural and in some cases free energy.
For more information on hemp please visit the USA Hemp Museum, a private museum with a virtual wing. Richard M. Davis is the museum's founder and curator and he has a book called HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION which is a great piece on how to use hemp to solve the problem of global warming.
Davis is proposing using the successful WWII Hemp For Victory program and solve the problems of global warming and our growing energy needs. We'll be posting his projections here soon and please share your thoughts on this blog.
All honest thought is welcomed. We can overcome with hemp.

Yes we can use hemp to grow our way out of our energy crisis. Though the piece above was from the early to mid 90's and the size of the nation has grown, we still have enough unused land to grow the hemp needed to both scrub the air of excess CO2 and provide a clean, easily renewable energy source.
Tell the politicians, we don't need no toxic energy. What we need is hemp to solve our energy crisis.
Hemp is nature's way to remove the oil from the land and change it into useful items like energy. Our greed got the best of us and we pulled the oil at a rate faster than natural. The result, global warming.
Hemp is a biomass champion that is 4 times more efficient than corn as biofuel.
Hemp energy pellets burn clean as biomass to fuel the nation's electric plants.
In addition to H.R. 5842: Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act, introduced in the House of Representatives by Representatives Barney Frank and Ron Paul, there is also the powerful "H. R. 5843: Act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults.
Thanks so much Barney Frank, Ron Paul and others working to remove restrictions from nature's hemp plant.
"Wisdom Erases Karma" said Carolyn Myss, author of ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT. Hemp is a vast resource that we are not using wisely. We need the karma brillo that only hemp can provide to clean up our bodies, society and planet by restoring wisdom to government.
Please contact your elected and appointed officials and tell them to remove all restrictions from the hemp plant and empower it to help us solve our problems now.
1. Making the peace pipe legal will reduce violence.
2. Using 5,000 year old hemp medicine will reduce the need for health care by keeping folks healthier. Stress kills. Medical hemp reduces stress.
3. Hempbiofuel burns 4 times more efficiently than corn and is a clean energy source.
4. Hemp pellets can produce clean electricity.
5. As we encourage large scale growing of hemp on unused federal lands, the hemp plants will pull the excess CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow. Regardless of the source, the cause of global warming is excess CO2, therefore the solution is to remove the excess CO2, which hemp does.
6. In case the bees don't return, hemp foods can quickly fill the gap caused by failed bee pollinated crops. Hemp is a wind pollinated weed that grows quickly and can make flour, seed oil, salads, drinks, etc.
7. Industrial hemp uses with proper financing and promotion can create a small business international boom from this non toxic resource material for everything from underwear to rocket fuel.
8. One of the results of global warming is the large fires. Planting hemp in large burn areas aerates the soil up to six feet deep, restoring burnt land. Plants in burn areas can also help reduce mud slides and restore farm land.
9. A 20% recreational grade hemp tax (estimated lowered price of $100 per oz. or $120 with the tax, dramatically lower than current pricing) could provide a government windfall income as folks will always pay for quality above medical grade.
