This plant will grow almost everywhere with very little maintenance and without watering.And it is insect resistant naturally. It grows quickly and the steps to turn it into gasoline are very simple. We could replace our need for anything other than hemp in a matter of Months, not years.\r\n\r\nFuel:\r\n\r\n* Hemp can produce 10 times more methanol than corn. \r\n* Hemp is Earth's number-one biomass resource; it is capable of producing 10 tons per acre in four months.\r\n",
