actually for oil production algae is the best, its %50 oil by body weight , there is a company in El passo TX, that grows it hydroponically in green houses and they said if they had a few thousand square miles of new Mexico desert the could grow enough fuel for the entire country..

best part is the algea only needs sunlight and co2 to grow.. it scrubs the air of COs and makes oil.. the other cool part is the other %50 of the algea's weight can be fermented into ethonol.. or made into compost whatever.. algea is just half oil and half biomass

As for hemp.. yeah it was accepted as currency for a while to pay your taxes.. I have heard that one reason it got outlawed was it was competing for paper pulp[ markets for making paper and the peopel who had lots of logging opperations lobbied it into being illegal..

however lets look at veggie oil burners.. 1 there attacked fro not paying fuel tax and in callifornia charged with transporting a hazardous substance... yeah you can drink your fuel and they call it hazardous..

Its about money they want to tax hybrid owners byt he mile as there using electricity to drive and not paying as much fuel tax.. but the gas engine makes the electricity.. Face it the government want money any way they can get it.. its all about greed.. and control.

Government and the prisons and the cops make huge amount of money of of the drug war .. its there cash cow.
