Then, if we get a collective brain, we'll grow industrial
hemp like crazy,
because it's even more efficient at producing fuel per acre
than soy is.
Hemp was made 'bad' in the '30s by big plastics, logging,
and cotton

Nope, the main reason was it's too close in appearance to
Marijuana but with a lot less "joy factor.".  During the
W.W.II they did raise some in SD, but the US Gov. outlawed
it later.
