WHY NOT HEMP FUEL?

Ethanol is a waste of time, money and resources!

Hemp fuel is less expensive to produce. The only effective use for
ethanol is in large, turbine-driven power-plants; the only way that
ethanol production and use can be cost-effective.

Hemp is the answer to carbon-neutral fuel sources. Cost-effective,
needing no pesticides, little water or field upkeep.

It is about time that B.C. jump on the hemp revolution that is
underway in Canada now.

Look at the successes that other provinces have already had. Any
province that is not looking at hemp as a resource is foolish and
shortsighted.

Look at the successes in Manitoba alone, with one company. Manitoba
Harvest has experienced 1,000 per cent growth is sales in the last few
years.

Where else do we see economic success in Canada today?
