National Energy Race
as proposed by Blanton's and Ashton's G.D. Frogsdong You want to fight terrorism? I'll give you a war on terrorism.
I am amazed by the Hemp Car. It took it's tour through the US a couple years ago. I thought it was quite the idea.
Pollution: Petrol vs Hemp shows the pros and cons of using gasoline vs using hemp fuel. It looks, to me, like hemp would be the better fuel. I also like the idea that our farmers could benefit by growing the crops. Aren't there farms that lay idle because the government is paying them NOT to grow certain crops? Those farms could be growing hemp. If our country wasn't run by rich fat cats who have hands in all the oil businesses, this idea probably would have already been passed by the government. Hemp would be a lot cheaper as the military wouldn't have to stake out the Middle Eastern countries. The blood loss would, most likely, be minimal, as compared to the over 1750 we've already lost in Iraq. As I said in the comment section over there, Farmers should be marching on DC, demanding to be given the rights to grow hemp. We should be writing to our "representatives" (and I put that in quotes as mine haven't represented me properly in quite some time) to push the fuel alternative of hemp. Yes, my letter getting ready to be printed off, right now!
Start a National Energy Race. Challenge the American people to come up with an alternative to fossil fuels the way Kennedy challenged the American people to fly to the moon. It took less than ten years from the start to the completion of that challenge. If the American people were challenged to come up with a clean energy solution, they could finish that challenge in less than ten years too.
