Don't discount hemp for biofuels
R.C. Stuart, DesMoines register
Tuesday 30 Oct 2007 My avid interest in your series on biofuels turned to dismay upon realizing that you had overlooked a key factor in the analysis of biofuel prospects. A realistic view of history shows that industrial sabotage against American farmers deprived them of what was called "the most profitable and desirable crop that can be grown" - hemp. It was only hysterical hearsay from powerful special interests, not scientific evidence, that tricked Congress into effectively banning the first plant ever cultivated and the premier renewable resource. No single plant produces the quality and quantity of fiber, cellulose, oil, protein and medicine as the falsely maligned cannabis hemp plant. It was disappointing to see your writers deceived by old and corrupt misinformation. You owe your readers a more accurate perspective on such an important farm and energy issue. - R.C.
