    Ford ran his entire fleet of the hemp he grew at his farm. It was ethanol that was produced from the hemp seed that ran the cars.

    Now ethanol is made from corn and people think it is something new but Ford did this with Hemp 100 years ago

    @MonicaMuil the combined soy & hemp fiber material is far stronger than carbon fiber or steel. so i believe its totally safe.

    see if we use hemp we would not worry about fucking up the ocean.

    IMAGINE IF OUR GULF WAS FULL OF HEMP OIL INSTEAD. We could have been running on renewable energy from the late 1800′s when Rudolph Diesel ran his Diesel engines on HEMP OIL. Henry Ford made a prototype model T using Hemp Plastic Composite body panels that were lighter than steel and 10X stronger. The GREEN technology has been here forever. Just RE-Legalize REAL renewable energy. Use the hemp fibers grown on a large industrial scale for cleanup, while transitioning to hemp oil+diesel engine FTW

    Pretty crazy how things have all come down the pipe. These people bent everyone over and put that pipe up are asses and most people can’t seem to figure it out, they this is normal to walk around with that up their asses.

    It really is sad at how many stupid people we have around us all. Keep the majority stupid and let those with profits and shares for the corporate powers control it.

    Hey wait a minute didn’t Adam Smith the father of capitalism warn that corporations would cause ruin?

    Cannabis for the win! it would replenish our health, planet & environment in everywway possible!

    @chriizt1an yup i agree.
    over 20 million gallons of oil into the ocean is totaly fucking up our aquatic eco systems, including other spieces that can go extinct in no time but the fuckin government cares less about this problem.
    this is not including the natural oil leaks we have in the ocean. why add to the problem.. seems us citizens have surpassed our governments in smarts, leadership & problem solving.
    Cannabis for the win!

    Big oil push started the war on drugs..Hemp and alcohol were competing with oil and gas.

    @MonicaMuil it is 10 times stronger than what your car is made of right now in your driveway. i would rather be in a hemp car than a steal or plastic car in a crash anyday

    Man you must have been high on weed when you wrote this. There are a lot of crops out there that are much more efficient crops out there to produce oil. The other thing you need to realize is that we feed the world. If you want to starve the world run all cars on ethanol in the US..and starve us as well. Hemp is dumb, but cool and it can run a car. Save the land to grow real weed, and reserve the rest for productivity.

    It was 10 times harder to deform(i.e. buckle) than thin steel sheet metal. This is nothing unusual; polycarbonate is much better. Now why do you suppose they don’t make chassis from polycarbonate? Is it perhaps because they want the chassis to deform, along with the crumple zone, so that the chassis is destroyed but the passenger may live? In Fords days they didn’t even used tempered glass in the windows; more than few people were gutted by the glass in low-speed collisions.

    @quadancer The ability of steel to plastically deform(i.e. buckle) is not a bug, it’s a feature. They used to build cars like freaking tanks; but that killed a lot of people and now we build them to absorb shocks instead.

    this needs to be brought to the attention of every person possible. awesome video. I can’t believe that Hemp is the answer to so many problems (alternative fuels, unemployment, biodegradable materials, the seed of which is very nutritious and extremely high in protein) yet the government and common man is so IGNORANT as to these facts! I guess like the civil rights movement of the 60′s, the legalization will eventually spread to the east coast…

    @Roadsideimports
    You need to do a lot more research into exactly what it is you’re saying. The oil, once converted into fuel is not fertilizer, it’s a chemical created by chemical reactions. Same for rapeseed oil, corn oil, sugar, algae oil, etc based fuel. Since the fuel is not made only with one product and there is waste in production and imperfect combustion it is not anywhere near a closed loop renewable cycle as you imply. Hemp is very useful, but spreading misinformation’s no good.

    @Roadsideimports
    Are you familiar at all with the material cost? Carbon fiber is expensive. It has decreased in price 10 fold in the last decade but is still out of reach for most consumers. Maybe you want a $200k Civic? Strength isn’t a singular property. There’s tensile, compressive, shear, ductility, etc. The many alloys of steel we have made available to ourselves are the best of all worlds, are relatively inexpensive, and are infinitely recyclable. Carbon fiber is famous for fatigue.

    @soylentgreenb
    It obvious we’re debating a bunch of pot heads. Hemp is going to save the world somehow. If these people would look at the rest of the globe and see how hemp has saved nothing even in places where it’s not illegal at all maybe they’d get a clue.

    @Roadsideimports
    Ethanol has been made from many things including corn for well over 100 years in America. Cars were made to run on all sorts of things through the 30′s including electricity, peanut diesel, etc. It was common to see CORN ethanol stations in the midwest through the depression. Then some ‘idiots’ got it in their heads food was more important than fuel and then thought maybe standardizing fuels so that intranational travel/trade was possible made sense. Pretty dumb, right?

    The other great things that can be made with Hemp are clothes, paper, and shock food!
    What amazes me is that the petro industry could be on the leading edge of Hemp production and in the long run it would cost them less, no spill clean up costs, less cost to search for new wells, etc. Plus, the Hemp fuel would plug into the current system!

    Pot is illegal because hemp can save the world. Vote h e m p . c o m

    The notion that HEMP and “Marijuana” / Cannabis are two different plants or are just different period, is bull shit. They are the same thing, that’s why George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many founding fathers both grew and SMOKED hemp/cannabis.

    Much of our medicine was hemp based..”Marijuana” doesn’t exist, it’s a term invented in the 1930s to demonize hemp.We should grow THC rich HEMP, a complete crop. Millions of acres of THC rich HEMP. That would be ideal.

    ive seen the scene where he hits the car with the axe the car is plastic its not hemp not made of hemp it is recycled and why would anyone at that time be against hemp cars alot of things were made of hemp in that time when they started prohibition people could still get high and ford thout that electricity would be the car of the future

    Great video. I did not know that hemp fiber could be made into panels so strong.

    I would love to establish an algae biofuel farm- algae produces the highest yield of oil per acre of any crop.
