Wind turbines water turbines geothermal title search energy solar panels my favorite hemp oil bio fossil fuel.  Couple examples why hemp is my favorite.  1 acre of hemp can produce  enough bio fossil fuel to fuel 10, 000 vehicles for a year at about a dollar  a gallon.   Equally as amazing if not more this type of fuel only releases the same amount of carbon dioxide un oxygenated air per mile,   as a person does when they exhale!. Versus coal crude oil  and gas which release tens of millions of years worth of petrified death un oxygenated air per mile'  keep in mind hemp makes over 26, 000 different things. It has been proven to be 10 times stronger 30% lighter than steel" stronger and lighter than concrete stronger and lighter than brick far easier to work with on-site much more abundant versatile making the design possibility practically limitless.  As a added bonus by using hemp for everything we can.         We will be improving upon in maintaining the quality of our air water foods landscapes working living environment every day home products. a reason  I'll explain 1 acre of hemp produces 3 to 4 times the amount of oxygen as a acre of tree's, at the same time' it's sucks in 3 to 4 times the amount of carbon dioxide un oxygenated air as a acre of tree's.  As if that wasn't exciting rewarding beneficial enough. Hemp rejuvenates replenishes the soil after every harvest, back to (Garden of paradise type quality)  even if the landscape has been previously stripped robbed depleted of all its value from overharvesting things such as cotton and corn. It has the same nutritional value as rice, corn, wheat, barley, milk combine" think about how long mankind has been surviving on that type of nutrition which requires way to much time and energy resources manpower to produce.        Now hemp on the other hand  has even been successfully grown and radiated soil.  In layman's terms bears your  clean high paying jobs from coast-to-coast globally. Which will improve upon people's health in such a way medical coverage will not be an issue for people will finally be really in touch with their own bodies capabilities and limitations being able to adjust  adapt respond recover to virtually all the illnesses that are plaguing today's people.  We have a hunger problem in this country world.  1 pound of hemp will give a family of four. more nutritional value between two and four weeks than what the majority of the population has ever had.

Cheap. Need more. Power all homes. Oil and Gas are death.

Wind energy is not a substitute for electricity power. Wind energy has to push already existing power off the grid as the wind speed increases. In doing so the fossil fuel plant must still continue running. As a result, little to no fuel is saved and little to no carbon is avoided.

the added cost of wind energy is for nothing in return,
