Lotus Eco Elise made from Hemp

Lotus Eco Elise -- Eco-friendly car by Lotus. Hemp will be key in the coming years, hemp is very economical to grow.

Cannabis (hemp) is the best food source on earth. Hemp fuel is the most cost effective and environmentally friendly reusable energy source on the planet. Hemp uses less water no herbicides or pesticides. The first diesel fuel was made from oil pressed from hemp seeds. It's non-toxic, a nitrogen fixer, grows well nearly everywhere, a renewable resource, makes food, fuel, paper, rope, medicine, cosmetics, plastic, housing and much more. Hemp can make our roads, highways and freeways from hemp based concrete: Hempcrete, which lasts for centuries.

USA consumes ~19,150,000 barrels of oil per day (bbl/day)

1800 gallons of hemp ethanol per acre=42 barrels (42 gallons in a barrel)

half of the arable land in USA 235 million acres

235,000,000 x 42 = 9,870,000,000 barrels
USA consumes ~ 7,008,900,000 barrels every year
——--
Worlds total arable land 13,805,153km²
half of the total arable land in the world 6902576km² x 247 acres in 1 km² = 1,704,936,272 acres

1704936272 x 42 (1800gallons) = 71,607,323,424 barrels

projected world oil consumption by 2030: 104,000,000 barrels per day x 366 days = 38,064,000,000

Anyone who does not think there is enough land to grow hemp for fuel and still grow food crops need to take a serious look at all the waste land that can be converted into arable land. 6 ways mushrooms can save the world. Hemp would also be a great resource to convert land into arable land good for growing food crops. There are other methods to increase yield per acre: vertical greenhouses, growing on rooftops, and why not make use of those hydro fields grow cannabis.

Rudolph Diesel who made the diesel engine to run on hemp fuel was found swimming with the fishes! Wide use of Rudolf Diesel's engine would have made petroleum-based fuel obsolete. The idea was destroyed by marijuana prohibition after Rudolf Diesel's death.

We need repeal of an unconstitutional law that has filled our prisons with nonviolent cannabis users. The prohibition against marijuana was unconstitutional from its inception. We don't want legalization of marijuana which leaves the government to control and regulate it. Thomas Jefferson was a hemp farmer. In early Colonial times people could pay their taxes with hemp!

The seeds can be pressed and used for diesel. Leaves and stalks can be fermented and used for fuel grade alcohol. Hemp harvests the most ethanol per acre compared to the alternatives, up to 10 times more than corn ethanol. Low THC hemp plants produce less seed and ethanol per acre compared to other strains. Some varieties mature in 60-90 days.

Despite Industrial Hemp having 50,000 uses, Dupont, Rockefeller, Hearst, Mellon and their constituents cornered the industrial and medicinal market with political propaganda, to insure against the competition of hemp fuel and safe, non-addicting and biodegradable products. The blind prejudice remains. If we and the other animals on the planet are to survive, we must see through this ignorance and correct the problem.

What show was that clip taken from? Wouldn't mind watching the rest of it. Thanks.

@greghar2003 the video is called "Lotus Eco Elise car made with hemp" I was editing the video to make it fit in a video im making.

Aparently the top has solar panels embeded in the hemp and generates electricity less load on the alternator.

The seats are lightwieght, strong and long lasting. People who want more performance from their cars, I almost can't believe people who modify their cars don't know about this, it would make car modification CHEAP, more performance, stronger lightweight

cotton fields verse hemp fields , hemp fabrics = amazing historical lasting JEANS , ,, hum wonder if hemp fabrics have an ability with the fabrics used in space. nice car  too

@emerald1one1 Search on NASA A Stellar, Metal-Free Way to Make Carbon Nanotubes

tiny yet strong structures with a range of applications in electronics and, ultimately, perhaps even medicine—the new approach does not need the aid of a metal catalyst. "Instead, nanotubes were produced when graphite dust particles were exposed to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases"

hemp is medicine not nanotubes NASA is spreading disinfo ignoring hemp promoting problems that are solved with hemp

[yellowecotec]

@yellowecotec NASA developed products sold around the world, tennis rackets made from nanotechnology not as strong and probably not as a light as hemp fiber. even tshirts are going to be made from nanotech its going too far it has its applications, like in space, but we dont need it on earth.

NASA=unsustainable. They had tin cans up there with people in them not strong, hemp is great for space re-inforce and make space more confortable possibly apply stellar nano with hemp plastic

My 3 yr old was on my lap, he LOVES cars, as soon as he saw the car on the vid, he said "AH dragon car" with a big smile.

This is an awesome vid, it gave me the tingles all over. I love this positive info, it really lifts my spirits, Thanks!
