In WW2 many farmers were encouraged to grow hemp for the war effort. Hemp has hundreds of commercial uses--many replacing petroleum.

[Which works quite well, BTW] The paint had a hemp oil base as did most paints of the time. Out of all that, Henry Ford invented the charcoal briquette. Charcoal is a byproduct of making methonol from biomass. [or vice versa depending on end result intent of the process] Ode -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
