Hemp and our future.

The governments of the world are gathering to talk about serious ways of cutting greenhouse gas emissions and dealing with climate change in general. Any time a carbon tax comes up, somebody veto's it because it is not set up fairly. Once they do(if they ever do) set some plan up. I would be the first in line with a proposal of hiring unemployed people to work and live on large farms that grow tons of hemp. So many acres of hemp growing = $ in credits. The land could be bought by large oil companies and large energy interests, which would not have to make any money for them, which could be a write off, but it could also morph into the way the big businesses will get in to biomass fuels. Hemp is by far the best plant to absorb co2 and then turn the plant in to 1001 things, fuel being one of them. The potential is huge. The obstacles are still huge but crumbling.
