THERE ARE WAYS FOR US TO CUT HIGH FUEL PRICES

Are you tired of paying high gas prices? Notice that gas prices soar,
every time a holiday rears its head? Are you fed up with politicians
not shaking the oil tree? These oil companies are making record
profits. Well, we all can do something about this. However, once
again, we need to educate ourselves on the history of oil, and its
coinciding history with hemp.

The first automobile Henry Ford made ran on hemp methanol. However, it
was quickly to change.

Refining and drilling oil, rather than farming and refining hemp, was
a means to keep power and money to a select few who in turn had the
means to lobby lawmakers. They then outlawed the only serious threat
to their power distribution scheme. Consequently, everyone would now
live in fear of prosecution for seeking to be an independent methanol
producer. Under their oppression, everyone now has to work harder to
meet our energy needs.

Since one acre of hemp produces approximately 1,000 gallons of
methanol; we most likely would not even need these energy companies.
That is, until we decided to travel. Hemp can save our trees, process
massive amounts of CO2, and medicate and relax an overworked society.

The science is all at you fingertips. The information you need to know
is all there in the history books and on the Internet. We must step
outside the box to begin to comprehend what we can do about high gas
prices.
