Instead there is some weed crop that is closer to 2 to 1, and much simpler to farm and process.

Cue the hempsters!

HEMP as Fuel:
Farming 6% of the continental U.S. acreage with biomass crops would provide all of America’s energy needs.

1
Hemp is Earth’s number-one biomass resource; it is capable of producing 10 tons per acre in four months. 1
Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol, or gasoline at a cost comparable to petroleum, and hemp is much better for the environment. Pyrolysis (charcoalizing), or biochemical composting are two methods of turning hemp into fuel.

2
Hemp can produce 10 times more methanol than corn.
Hemp fuel burns clean. Petroleum causes acid rain due to sulfur pollution.
The use of hemp fuel does not contribute to global warming.

And for the dolts out there who think you can get high from this form of hemp.......you can’t!
