LNG, Industrial hemp saves the world and street people save themselves

And the Saga continues...  We are still telling Northwest Natural, Oregon LNG, Palomar and the rest or the corporados that Oregon doesn’t want, need or is willing to risk taking a flyer on liquefied natural gas.  Yet we are still rallying in Astoria and in the State capital.  Communities that would be hardest hit by these misguided game of chance have drawn a line in the sand.  No one is backing down.   Some of the protest signs are showing signs of wear and tear:  Not so the people carrying them.  And there are more at every hearing, rally, protest, action.  .  Liquefied Natural 'Grab' indeed.

April Fools Day is over but one idea lives on.  And it's no joke.   ‘Liquefied Natural Grass' was  brunt of the stunt.   But industrial hemp has some serious answers to the problems plagueing the State.  First off, think of the revenue it would generate, think of the potential energy it could generate. Think of the forests it would from the Biomass burners.   Think of the soil it would save from being sucked dry by hungrier crops.  We even passed a bill last year legalizing it.  Now we are waiting for the federal government to wake up and smell the croppers.
