They should be working with kaneh bosm, cannabis, hemp. Kaneh is the one and only solution in the plant kingdom for our energy needs. It grows from the Equator to the Arctic circle, grows in soil other crops will not, requires little or no fertilizer or pesticides, and you can still use whats left of the plant for other puposes. One acre of hemp equals four of timber and you harvest it every single year while tree's take a lifetime. All paper, plastics, paints, varnishes, pressed board, most building products, textiles and many medicines can be made with hemp. Everything from cellophane to dynamite. In 1938 WE knew of over 25,000 products that could be made with it. Henry Ford had built and fueled a car with it. Neither he nor Diesel expected to run their engines on petro. The seed is the single most nutritious thing you can eat. Canvas is Dutch for cannabis. For thousands of years all ships sails were of kaneh cloth. You and I have cannabinoid receptors in our body. Maybe thats why new reliable research has found that it actually increases brain cell growth and is very helpful with Alzheimers, MS, autism, epilepsy, chronic pain, migraine, arthritis, cancer, obesity, glaucoma, nausea, Huntingtons, Parkinsons, Tourettes, Crohns disease and more. In Exodus 30:23 it was God himself that instructed Moses to use 250 shekels of kaneh bosm in the oil used to anoint all Kings, Priests, and Prophets, for all generations, including Jesus, as the title "Christ" means literally "anointed". Kaneh is also listed as an incense tree in Song of Songs 4:14, and also mentioned in Isaiah 43:24, Jeremiah 6:20, and Ezekiel 27:19. There are 141 references to anointing and 145 for burning incense in your Bible. Those Greeks really made a blunder when they translated kaneh bosm as calamus in the 3rd century BC. But, it had to happen so we could get to where we are today didn't it?
I could go on and on, but I'm tired.
Happy Independence day... seeya.
Peace
