1. Vegetable oil or hemp--What difference does it make? Its all about average joules per acre yielded on average land in production with no hydrocarbon inputs, without lowering existing carbon sink of that land. In fact, hemp has been generously assumed to have a much higher joule per acre yield, so frankly, you will need much more land to fuel this production with palm, rapeseed, canola or some other type of biofuel

2. Hydrocarbons are a form of solar energy storage. I don't see understand any type of distinction

3. If not infinity, you must know of a specific point in the expansion of technology, population and economic growth where we plan to stop, right?

4. A "pet theory" is how you basically describe the entire scientific concept of green house gasses and global warming? Forgive me for extrapolating that in order to reduce atmospheric carbon, we have to actually reduce carbon emissions.
