4. Years ago I heard a talk by a crazy guy and his idea for a hydrogen hemp economy.

Over the years he has made a lot of sense.
Hemp fiber can replace wood for paper and save the trees. It grows in poor soil and need less moisture than most crops. Hemp seed for food and oil that could replace desial fuels. The fiber can help replace plastics, see Henry Fords experimental car body using a composite of hemp fiber. It’s a renewable resource. That can even be used in construction projects. The paper it makes is far superior than tree paper. In fact our Constitution is written on it. The more you look into it, the better it gets.
