When I said that, I anticipated that you'd have a reasonable reply to explain why it wouldn't work.

Why does hemp fuel have to have a lower profit margin and where has it been proved? It is cheap to cultivate and process and that expands the profit margin. Plus, they could virtually name their price and I bet it'd still be cheaper than petrol.

Why does hemp fuel have to have a lower profit margin and where has it been proved?

Oil prices are controlled by a cartel. Monopolies profit
Oil is pumped out of the ground. Drillers profit.
Oil is shipped by super tankers. Shipping companies profit.
Oil is refined. Refineries profit.
Hemp prices are determined by the free market. Consumers profit.
It is cheaper to grow hemp than drill and pump oil. Farmers profit.
No super tankers needed...The oil is available from farmers where it is needed. Consumers profit.
No refineries needed. Hemp can be processed into fuel on the farm. Farmers profit.
During the depression farmers powered their farm equipment with hemp oil. They couldn't afford petroleum because oil industry profits could not be cut enough to sell petroleum at a price farmers could afford.
