Fuel Alternatives for Business of the Future
There are other fuel alternatives that are being researched and that do actually work.
Algea fuel is being used and production is expanding.
There is also another plant that can be grown as easily as corn,but enriches the soil as it grows instead of leaching nutrients from it.
It can be used as food source and a fuel ,along with making clothes,furniture and many other things.
This was used by our ancestors but outlawed by government and large companies that are afraid it will cut into their profits or put them out of business.
This plant is no miracle but it can be used as another alternative to fuels that are robbing consumers of their buying power and hurting the world economy as well.
This plant named Industrial Hemp that is grown in Canada legally and parts of it shipped to USA for industrial uses.
Other parts of it are used for many things,including food supplements.Over 25,000 products can be made with this one plant,yet the American Farmer can not grow it.
North Dakota and other states have made laws that approve it's right to be grown,but the federal law still says NO You can not grow this plant.
You must understand that the Federal Law does not understand the difference between a Fully Legal NON-Drug plant that can help boost the American Economy and the Drug plant called Marijuana.
To understand what I am talking about,look at this link where Farmers sue the DEA for right to grow Industrial Hemp. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/17/pip.hempregulation/index.html

Why Grow More Corn that leaches chemicals into rivers that are killing the Coral in the Gulf of Mexico when you can grow this 1 plant that is worth much more???????
We need every resource at our disposal to help our economy...
Don't tie our hands with ignorent laws and we can build a better tomorrow.
Contact your local Congress representative and ask them to help bring a Vote for American Farmers for the right to grow a plant that is NOT a drug... Industrial Hemp...
US Government...Stop giving subsidies (free taxpyers money) to large multinational companies that do not expand local jobs.
