Here comes the bail bond chaser pretending to be an intellectual.

jatropha is a plant that grows in tropical environs. Hemp can grow in northern climes. Hemp is very hardy. It's a great source of fiber for a multitude of purposes including clothing. The seeds can be used for biodiesel fuel as well. Its cellulosic fiber can be also converted to ethanol using an enzymatic reaction.

Fuel

Biodiesel sampleBiofuels such as biodiesel and alcohol fuel can be made from the oils in hemp seeds and stalks, and the fermentation of the plant as a whole, respectively. The energy from hemp may be high based on acreage or weight, but can be low based on the volume of the light weight harvested hemp.[citation needed] It does, however, produce more energy per acre per year than corn, sugar, flax, or any other crop currently grown for ethanol or biodiesel.[citation needed]
