Study brought to you by your friends at Monsanto, corporate prisons, big oil, police unions, and any scientist that wants to keep their government funding.
Fact is hemp is a vastly superior to corn for a medium to derive alcohol for use in biofuels. Switchgrass is 3 times more efficient then corn.

Biofuel is great in a lot of ways, especially in becoming self sufficient; but if I remember correctly, they're mandated by the government to keep a certain amount of gasoline in biofuel to keep people from just going to the gas station and filling up cans of alcohol, since biofuel is cheaper than actual alcohol; thus rendering it forever dependent on oil prices, and never getting rid of the need for oil.
