Hemp and Bamboo can replace coal, oil, and wood. Bamboo and Hemp can grow in over 70% of earth's climate zones. Bamboo and Hemp are low cost crops needing little water or chemicals. The production costs are low, and areas to grow are abundant. Bamboo and Hemp also have over 25,000 uses EACH. The wide range of products and chemicals derived from the plants allow for scalability of the resources. Resistance to drought, and the ability to grow on polluted lands or less than "pristine" farms equals a lower cost to acquire land vs. other crops like corn which need arable land. Bamboo and hemp are being used in wind turbines, being developed as super conductors for batteries and solar panels, even as bio plastics, and bone implants. These plants are in the infancy of development. reminds me of fossil fuels in the 50's. America, can manufacture again. Bamboo and Industrial Hemp ARE the next cash crop for America Both crops have been touted as Billion Dollar Crops featured in Popular Mechanics.
