"The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumac out by the road, or from apples, weeds, sawdust -- almost anything," he said. "There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented." Ford recognized the utility of the hemp plant. He constructed a car of resin stiffened hemp fiber, and even ran the car on ethanol made from hemp. Ford knew that hemp could produce vast economic resources if widely cultivated. "There's enough alcohol in one year's yield of an acre of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to cultivate the fields for one hundred years." - Henry Ford We believe Hemp is the World's #1 Sustainable Fuel and Energy Source to free us from 'Oil Addiction.'

“There’s enough alcohol in one year’s yield of an acre of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to cultivate the fields for one hundred years.” - Henry Ford

The name of the company is Colusa Biomass Energy. They are currently waiting (and have been for over a year) for an approval of the Air Quality Permit in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Act.
