Globally a very large percentage of construction materials, vehicle parts, and plastics are currently produced from petrolium sources because of rules and regulations which restrict our civilization from utilizing the sun optimally via nature&#x27;s most highly optimized solar fiber&#x2F;oil generation system also known as industrial hemp.<p>Although it&#x27;s possible to obtain hemp fiber and oil now it&#x27;s price is artifically high because hemp farming is restricted on most of the surface area of earth.  This artifically high price pevents this plant from being used in building construction and consumer plastics which keeps us locked into a petrol economy.<p>In addition there is a vast amount of rough terrain in US and elsewhere which is suitable for hemp production but not for agricultural crops.  This land currently sits unused which it could be absorbing co2 at a high rate while contributing to the global economy.  Also a reduction in the price of hemp would cause it be used more as the world&#x27;s primary source of cellulose which would help neturalize the wholesale destruction of biodiversity in both the rainforests and marine environments.
