Hemp fueled the cars Henry Ford "grew",as reported in Popular Mechanics Dec. 1941(1 ).

A 2005 Cornell University study said it was not economical to produce ethanol or biodiesel from currently legally available crops. But it was economical to use hemp as a biomass fuels. Lynn Osburn author of Energy Farming in America "When farmers can make a profit growing energy, it will not take long to get six percent of continental American land mass into cultivation of biomass fuel -- enough to replace our economy's dependence on fossil fuels," she also said "The threat of global greenhouse warming and adverse climactic change will diminish. To keep costs down, pyrolysis reactors need to be located close to the energy farms. This necessity will bring life back to our small towns by providing jobs locally." (2 ).

Co inventor of a hemp powered car ("HEMPCAR" ) Greyson Sigler noted that biodiesel releases 80 percent less emissions and "There are no sulfur byproducts, although there are slightly increased nitrogen oxide emission, most of which can be tuned out," ( 3 ).
