Hemp is one of the worst biodiesel generators. It performs nearly as bad as corn and is no where near as effective as algae.

You may be right about hemp not out performing algae for the use of biodiesel's, But algae cannot be used for textile's, rope and any other product made from tree's or plastic. It is a lot easier to grow hemp. with less money being put into having to build the facilities to grow. Algae requires the temperature to not be hot or to cold and the water also must be a certain temperature to remain healthy. Look and compare the two of them and both have great attributes for nutritional purposes. here are links to both of them for you to compare.

Hemp would be a lot easier for someone to start growing with minimal cost. There are strains that can resist heat, cold and diseases . It can be grown in any climate even under water. I wonder how good hemp would grow if they where to put hydroponic tubes in the algae ponds and grow together.

Pierre S. Du Pont was the main reason that hemp became illegal. Starting in 1914 dupont started investing in general motors stock. in 1915 Pierre was invited to sit on the board of directors at GM. Eventually being appointed the chairman of the board. From 1920 to 1943 Dupont was the major producer of all war supplies and even contributed to the manhattan project. Designing, building and operating the hanford plutonium producing plant and the savanna river plant in south carolina. Then from 1959 to 1970 they played a key role in the success of the apollo space program. Then from 1981 to 1995 dupont Acquired conoco oil and gas company. So as you can see, dupont had a major interest in big oil and manufacturing of goods all over the world.

In 1999 Dupont sold its shares in conoco and started putting most of there efforts into growing living plants for there chemicals instead of extracting from petroleum. So that would suggest that there are a few oil companies now that still have there own interest to keep hemp illegal. here is the link for this info on Dupont.

My final thoughts are that if we don't do something about our polluted planet now, Then we could only have 50 years left. it is said that we get 50 percent of our oxygen From the phytoplankton that grows in the ocean. if we keep polluting our air and land and letting these pollutants go into the ocean, We will surely be looking at 'doomsday' somewhere in the near future. It cannot continue and something must be done now. So i think hemp and Algae could be great partners in helping the world and shifting the current trend of Big oil and big money Government. So i would urge everyone to make sure you go and petition, protest and go and vote for this cause. Thank you.
