Energy Policy of Trump and Clinton

Recommended Posts

Check politicians hands for oil, The energy policies of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton support the fossil fuel industry and not how Hemp can replace fossil fuels. Biogas can be made from Hemp, a study in Sweden found it was a good crop. We can end fracking and other poison industries by making biofuels and other biodegradable energy from Hemp Cheaper. The cost of electricity and fuel could be cheaper, fossil fuels are not biodegradable, Hemp is!

I wish the mainstream media told people this and didn't undermine the information

How much, though, hemp would it take to meet the needs of every single thing that oil is currently used for? Would it be practical to grow enough to meet all the demand? Can it be grown more or less anywhere or does it need particular conditions? Would it take up a great deal of agricultural land currently used for other purposes? How much effort and energy would it need to convert it in useable fuel? And what about the effect on other important applications? I suppose it may answer all this in one of the several videos, but I'm afraid I very rarely have the patience to  The narration in that second one in particular make 2 minites 35 seconds feel like 23 minutes.

How much hemp would it take to make 7.1 billion barrels (42 gallons) of oil? That's our current consumption. Assuming that hemp oil would process into gasoline at the same ratio as fossil oil.

According to this site, an acre produces about 300 gallons of oil. (Which is twice the rate of other seed oil crops.... so take that number for what you will.) So, to produce 7.1 billion barrels (@42 gallons per barrel = 300 billion gallons) that is just over 1 billion acres. Or, about 50% of the US "lower 48" area.

According to the US Department of Agriculture, we have 915 million acres of land now under cultivation, so we'd need to take all that land, plus a bit of reserved wilderness to plant all that pot.

Or, we could conquer Canada. It's non-frozen part is about just the right size. Or, going south, we'd need all of Mexico, Central America and probably Peru, Columbia and Venezuela. 

It's do-able. NOT!

FYI, a barrel of oil is 42 gallons and produces about 19 gallons of gasoline, or about a ratio of 0.45 gal gas per gal oil. And seed oil into gasoline is maybe a little better then that (based off the numbers from soy bean oil) at about 0.5. But then that is bio diesel, which isn't actually normal gasoline, and is usually cut with regular diesel in order to work in modern diesel engines.

Not practical in other words. Not even close.
