I'm going to plant feed corn.

Claude Mandil, the head of the International Energy Agency, told the Financial Times that, even in the worst-case scenario for the oil cartel, there would be a "dramatic" need for an increase in production by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Opec has nothing to fear. Even in the most optimistic scenarios, the contribution from biofuels would be very small," Mr Mandil said.

Switchgrass, FTW. Makes more sense than corn for use as a fuel - use the entire plant for ethanol, not just the seeds, it can grow places that corn can't, and it's naturally a prairie plant.


Biofuels no threat to Opec. Yet.

Oh look, another rogodin2 thread about running out of oil. :roll:

Can't you just condense all of these posts to one thread?

I was also advised to plant camilas. I suspect that it's closely related to Switchgrass, I'll have to look it up.

Thanks for the suggestion J77.

Take a leap Mog and Forlot.

English mtherfcker, do you speak it? You should worry more about learning to read and write than you do about surviving the apocalypse.

I've found a decent compost content reciepe for what I'm able to procure around my area!

I'm shooting for 9 5x12 raised beds.

..do the math. California uses 30 million gallons of gas a day. That doesn't count diesel..avation fuel and oil by products. eco-thiests only want you to examine their alleged good intentions with their bacon fat bio-fuel bologna crapola and not the results. You'd have to plant every available agri.acre of land to grow enough corn or equivalent just to supply california.

I like your thinkin. Biofuels shall rule!! there's other "illegal" plants that can yield vast amounts of biofuels and be harvested twice a year

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Corn is quite possibly one of the least efficient feedstock to use in a biofuel program, no other halfway serious country uses it in theirs. We do because the infrastructure is in place and the farm/agribusiness lobby is strong. Many other plants can produce much higher yields per acre not to mention the growing interest in cellulosic ethanol and algae based biodiesel. While it is unlikely that biofuels alone would be sufficient to supplant petroleum they could go a long way to reducing our need to import foreign oil and all the associated political problems.

Hemp is not illigal. It's the ideal plant for a lot of stuff. Makes you wonder why it is not prevalent again.

I'm not sure if it's legal in every state. Not to mention all the BS propoganda the Federal gov't pushes, even though they have no proof of it. And that is why slowly, but surely, state after state is decriminalizing and starting medical mj programs. The number of ailments that can be treated with the (non-narcotic) chemical is growing.

I agree, it's an excellent plant for a large number of things, and I think it's not used because people are scared of the Federal gov't. The way I see it, God himself gave us this wonder plant, and we need to start utilizing it properly.

As far as I know (from my nose to the screen) THC free hemp is perfectly legal given you have a proper industrial license. You cannot get any THC from hemp so...

Hemp is illegal to grow commerically in the United States. Has been for a long time. Thank the cotton, timber, and paper industries.

If hemp were legal to grow commerically in the US, there would be massive hemp farms. Hemp has one of the most versatile fibers of any plant.

That is simply not true. There are states that allow hemp, a variation of the cannabis sativa plant, to be grown and used for goods.

All hemp products sold in the US are made with imported hemp.
