While it would take decades to achieve the desired results of fuel cell technology, a viable and sustaining fuel alternative is available: hemp fuel. Hemp fuel burns many times cleaner then any fuel on the market. Although the price probably would be about the same as fuel today, it would be more environmentally friendly. But I think hemp fuel is buried under the propaganda of drug use and is being avoided to keep the profits coming for the fuel and oil barons. How long are we going to destroy this planet for the sake of industrial profits? Steve Shamblen - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
