BioC: Hemp and ethanol



Ethanol and methanol have been available for more than 70 years.  If they carried the same capital and same subsidies then oil would shrink as a global competitor.  Bet on Shell and BP to lead the way into alternatives because we have already hit the peak of the oil reserves on this planet and they are going to switch over their infrastructure first.  Hemp is also becoming a cash crop again in Europe and Canada and will provide a catalyst toward ethanol efficiency and cost.  Corn is a good start, but it requires more water and is abundant and cheap.  Ethanol can only be mass produced with an efficient source and oil is fading into the history books where history will not treat her lightly.
 
Any thoughts on the many subjects I have brought up?
