Fuelcrops

The farms of tomorrow will grow our food and our fuel. Peak oil will be hitting markets shortly, and to help supply our transportation and energy needs, farmers should begin planting crops based on their energetic properties. Plants producing a greater amount of oil per hectare should be integrated into our agriculture. Corn, for example, produces only ~550kg/ha, while palm oil produces twice as much oil as most other oil crops. www.journeytoforever.org. Jatropha produces quite a lot of oil as well.

Many oily weeds can grow on ground not suitable for foodcrops. We also preserve millions of acres of treeland in the same manner. Millions of acres of weedland could easily provide our nation's transportation energy requirements, and expand agribusiness explosively, around the world. This is a much better answer than relying on non-lifecycle resources. If you're a farmer, or own large tracts of semi-arable land, consider the possibility of growing fuelcrops.
