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??

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
