Biodiesel from Hemp / General Biodiesel Information

To find biodiesel retail stores near you, see the map at: http://biodiesel.org/buyingbiodiesel/...
ALGAE is the richest producing source
of biodiesel on the planet - the world could
produce all the fuel it needs by growing algae, and converting it into fuel. Algae could be grown on giant barges, floating on the ocean.
Elephant grass is also a great source for biofuel; in fact it may be a richer producing source for biofuel than hemp.

Feel free to leave comments here, on our future of replacing petro-fuel with biodiesel!
Ethanol is NOT the way to go, because it is mixed with petroleum fuel, which we must stop using as soon as possible, to reduce global warming.
Let's give petro oil related companies huge monetary incentive to change over to bio-fuels. Instead of drilling for rare fossil fuel, the petroleum companies could switch over, grow algae on huge barges on the ocean and convert to fuel. Let's grow algae local to the fuel use, so it does not need to be transported internationally, and spilled into the ocean. Cities can grow algae in their city waste water systems. We need to convert to carbon-neutral biodiesel / biofuels as soon as possible. We need to use cleaner fuels to make a healthier environment. Man-made global warming is a scam though - see my fuel from algae video for explanation. Thanks.

"Let's give petro oil related companies huge monetary incentive to change over to bio-fuels."

screw the oil companies!!! you dont think they've known the potential of biofuels? you dont think John D. Rockefeller (Standard Oil) had ulterior motives when he was providing financial support to the "alcohol" prohibition movement?

remember, there was a time not so long ago when there wasn't a service station on every corner but there was a still on every farm ;o)

That's a nice thought, but good luck overcoming the political / economic power of the petro companies. It's not that I love petro companies - it's just that I know that common sense does not over-power political power.

i agree, hemp and biodiesel all the way. but i read that hemp actually doesnt yield as much oil per acre than canola and sunflower. do other sources agree with your statement?

[SeattleGuy1968]

hi flymusic,

probably true that some crops yield more than hemp. However, remember the speaker is talking about feral (wild) hemp, which produces tons of more seeds to be converted into oil. The word feral is the magic key.

If we started using hemp for fuel, we wouldn't have to pay another cent for fuel. This stuff should be grown on a grand scale. #1 Clothing, #1 Paper source, #1 fuel, #1 Medicine, #1 EVERYTHING. We need a hemp-based economy, this world is doomed if we don't start using this gift from nature.

Follow the money and see why hemp is illegal

[Xziro3]

Yo seriously, more people need to know about hemp, spread the word. most people don't even fully understand what hemp is. We're so blinded by the drug war... Let people understand how much more important hemp is, so there can be a greater push for legalizing Hemp!

So you're just going to back out, with your tail between your legs? As the new generation becomes more and more conscious, there will be a time, soon enough, for us to stand and fight.

Government is an inefficient and extremely immoral concept and should be abolished altogether. There is no better democracy than a free market, where you are able to sue for pollution, where you don't need 300 permits to open a tiny little business, and where you will be left the fuck alone.

[dfesteelguitar]

I think hemp has the higher oil yield but, more importantly, while you're making oil out of the seeds, you can also make methanol or ethanol out of the stalks. Paper, food, rope, 2 kinds of fuel... there's no end to it except the oil-company-owned politicians. You can search and sign industrial hemp and marijuana petitions at change.org.

[plasmaticcanabis]

they want it doomed they are trying to reduce the worlds pop by 90%

[TOMHBOMB1963]

i think its time to stuff the corporartes who runs the goovernments. Givernment for the people buy the people only comes from your real vote. That vote is for you to think how and with who you spend your next dollar.

Hemp shows how how corporate interest have diverted governements and the public from our gice from the univers , a plant that can help us keep transport moinvg , clothe us, make paper, house us and even feed us.

I want a real world not the crap being presented to us.

Yes I agree, central generation is more efficient due to economy of scale and lower heat losses from the source and higher efficiencies due to a hotter source possible.

Yes, I also remember somewhere reading that an electric vehicle conversion would mean lower total emissions. I would think that using central signalling to chargers on vehicles would result in a flatter profile of power demand, allowing maximum efficiency of all deployed plants, resulting in lower net pollution
