Post from Hemp For Victory:
Yes We Can Grow Our Way Out Of Global Warming With Hemp

Call to action: Develop a new energy policy that does not include toxic energy. Use hemp biofuel, solar, magnetic, hydro, wind and other clean, non toxic sources of power.
With hemp biofuel as the foundation of a clean energy policy, we can grow our way out of our global warming and energy crisis. A wise energy policy includes non toxic energy, of which there is an abundance.
Hemp can help solve both the energy and environmental crisis we are in. The cause of global warming is too much CO2 in the atmosphere and much of it got there because of how we produce energy. Rather than taking the oil from the soil using natural means like the hemp plant, we've put what looks like rape machines, oil drills, and take as much as we want without consideration of if the earth needs her oil to operate the planet like we need oil for our bodies.
There is a webeo from the early 90's that is posted on Youtube, the link is below that gives the math on how we can grow hemp on unused farm land (not mentioning the government owned unused land) to solve our energy crisis. Since hemp scrubs the air of excess CO2 as it grows, it will help with the environmental crisis we are in too.

Text of webeo:
"Fuel. Hemp can also be used for the production of methanol.
According to World War II production rates of hemp per acre, we can produce the equivalent of 10 - 15 barrels of oil from one acre of hemp.
If we use the production rates that are in evidence in countries currently producing hemp, we could produce the equivalents of 20-30 barrels of oil per acre of hemp.
Can we fuel the nation with hemp?
The answer is YES!
According to United States Agricultural statistics, in the United States we have an excess of 950 million acres of farm land.
Of that land we planted in 1987 some 450 million acres.
This leaves some 450 to 500 million acres un-planted.
In order to produce the amount of methanol to fuel all of our transportation needs, we would need to plant some 12-34 million acres of hemp.
This would produce the biomass necessary to fuel our country."
Yes we can use hemp to grow our way out of our energy crisis. Though the piece above was from the early to mid 90's and the size of the nation has grown, we still have enough unused land to grow the hemp needed to both scrub the air of excess CO2 and provide a clean, easily renewable energy source.
Tell the politicians, we don't need no toxic energy. What we need is hemp to solve our energy crisis.
Hemp is nature's way to remove the oil from the land and change it into useful items like energy. Our greed got the best of us and we pulled the oil at a rate faster than natural. The result, global warming.
Hemp is a biomass champion that is 4 times more efficient than corn as biofuel.
Hemp energy pellets burn clean as biomass to fuel the nation's electric plants.
