Currently, rainforests are being destroyed to grow sugar to make biofuel. Corn is being grown to make ethanol. Why? Biofuel can be made from cooking oil.

Ask the environmentalists.
Here are some interesting statistics.
One out of 3 ears of corn grown in the US feeds cars, not hungry Americans.
One of ten Americans uses food stamps.
Almost all environmental groups want to pay even more subsidies and turn more food into gasoline, and more multinationalist agribussiness farmers and oil company tycoons into millionaires and billionaires. It’s not about poison; it’s about how warm the poison is.
The planet is at stake they say, but THEIR CHILDREN are not starving; not yet, anyway.
And the bad news keeps on coming. Another staple, soy beans is becoming very profitable to convert as fuel, and corn is being planted instead of comparatively cheap food crops.
Starving all the hungry is a terrible way to win the war on poverty.
Finally, I would never trust anyone who thought that biodiesel was clean. They had to want this so bad that truth and reality just didn’t matter and all rhyme or reason was in a huge fog, lost.

Now that some farmers have abandoned growing wheat for corn, sunflowers and canola to make ethanol and biodiesel instead of wheat for food. We are on the verge of paying twice as much for a loaf of bread. Since we as people have not demanded better technology for harnessing natural energy like sun, wind and battery storage and allow the farm to grow food not fuel are we going to go to war over food since we have gone to war over fuel or are we going to allow our fellow man to starve in order to keep our vehicles running? It is getting the the point where gas per litre is less than a loaf of bread. What gives??

Because much of the energy in corn-based ethanol comes from burning hydrocarbons in the first place, the cleaner tailpipe emissions are actually just the tip of a very dirty iceberg. If an ethanol distillery is fired by coal (which many are) rather than natural gas, the fuel that it produces will actually contribute more to changing the climate than regular gasoline. And don’t forget all the fertilizer dumped on the fields! When it is exposed to the weather, the nitrogen in the fertilizer generates nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 296 times more damaging to the climate than CO2.
One study shows that biodiesel derived from from palm oil grown in Indonesia is in fact 10 times more damging to the climate than conventional diesel. Meanwhile, it is expected that the Indonesian rainforests will be 98% gone by 2022, cleared away in order to make room for this supposedly "green" fuel. Another study calculates that clearing forest to plant biofuel feedstock results in carbon emissions as much as 400 times wrose than conventional oil!

Hemp is considered by some to be the plant that could greatly reduce the effects of global warming. One acre of hemp can produce every year the same amount of paper (of better quality) as three acres of trees do in twenty years. You can get biodiesel from hemp more efficiently than from corn. Biodegradable plastics can be made from hemp reducing the pressures on landfills. The list goes on and there’s tons of information on the internet about it.

I’m sure many will claim it’s because it can be confused with pot. So lets face it, pot is far less harmful than alcohol and the benefit from hemp will outweigh any negative impacts of pot.
During the Second World War the slogan "Hemp for Victory" was used to encourage farmers to grow it. It’s time to recycle this slogan for the war on global warming "Hemp for Victory".
So why are still not growing this crop in massive amounts
