A new breed of biofuels may help solve the global energy challenge and reduce the impact of fossil fuels on global warming. Hear from a panel of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists who are developing ways to convert the solar energy stored in plants into liquid fuels.

At the 2010 Winter Olympics a car made out of Hemp will be unveiled. In some locations three crops of Hemp can be grown per year. Hemp requires no pesticides and very little fertiliser. Hemp saves the top soil and repairs the soil where it is planted. The MYT engine can burn any type of bio diesel or hydrogen, gas, diesel, vegitible oil Etc. The MYT engine is very low emission at any size. The MYT Engine can be made small enough to power a portable generator or the largest cargo ship.

A university student (US) and team invented a way to make bio fuel in 6 seconds and Hemp is the number one source of bio mass. One acer of hemp is equal to four acer's of Tree's and only takes one season to grow. There is a reason why Hemp was the world's farmer's number one cash crop for hundreds of years. Everything from car parts to door and side pannels for vehicles are now made from Hemp. Plastics made from Hemp are 10 times stronger than steel and there is no rust to contend with.

@AIgrim Yeah...
If only money wasn't the motivator, and rather, it was our resources. I honestly feel a resource based economy would do far better in the realms of sustainability, and innovation.
You can watch the video I wanted to post as a response, it's my newest video.

@TheReasonWhyGuy, lets hope for something in december in copenhagen. But the politicians haven't really the best reputation on this subject. It's all about money.

@AIgrim The annoying part is, that I can't even post a video response : /

Electric cars+Hydro-Thermal Solar power=The answer
This bio-fuels crap is only being proposed because it has the largest profit margin, oppose to being the most sustainable.
