Excuse me?
I have done more reading on hemp than probably anyone at this forum. I have also probably done more reading on biomass and biodiesel than anyone on this forum.
As to hemp biomass for energy, here is a great place to start, a strong economic paper by Tim Castleman....
Hemp Biomass for Energy
Next, we have 25 states looking at hemp as a way to save their small farms and for fuel........
About a year ago, Republican state Senator Stan Bingham went looking for new potential energy sources for his soybean oil-fueled car. After some research, he concluded that hempseed oil might generate the type of gas he was looking for.
"Hemp is great for alternative fuel," Bingham said.
With the passage of the bill, North Carolina became the 25th state to authorize or complete a study on the potential economic impact of industrial hemp, Bingham said. Federal law prohibits the cultivation of Cannibis sativa, the plant from which both industrial hemp and marijuana come from.
A US Department of Agriculture (USDA) report on industrial hemp stated that the plant cannot be visually discerned from marijuana. But a chemical analysis of marijuana reveals that the drug contains between 3 and 15 percent mind-altering THC, compared to a paltry 0.3 percent for industrial hemp.
"Serious marijuana growers don't want industrial hemp legalized because it crossbreeds with their plants," Bingham said. "If you smoke industrial hemp it will make you sick."
Some law enforcement agencies have said that hemp fields might provide cover for marijuana farmers, but Eidinger said that is unlikely to happen because of cross pollination.
"The last place someone would want to grow marijuana is in a hemp field," Eidinger said.

Another lie told by our government exposed by a member of our own government.
What the sheeple fail to realize is that hemp is not illegal because it is difficult to distinguish from marijuana, like we are told.
The truth is that marijuana is illegal because the "elites" do not want hemp products competing with those of their industries.
There is much, much more, maybe I should start a new thread.
