Grass/Marijuana is probably not eco-friendly

GOOD claims that Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory analyst Evan Mills, Ph.D., has released an amazing brand new distinct report, “Energy up in Smoke: The Carbon Footprint of Indoor Cannabis Production.” Mills states that inside Cannabis production uses 1% of the nation’s entire electrical energy usage. That comes to power expenses of $5 billion each year.
While 1% might not seem like a lot, the report states that burning one single Cannabis joint is the same as having a 100-watt light bulb for seventeen hrs. That Marijuana cigarette carries two pounds of Co2 pollutants.
According to the statement:
Each four-by-four-foot production module doubles the electricity use of an average U.S. home and triples that of an average California home. The added electricity use is equivalent to running about 30 refrigerators. Processed Cannabis results in 3000-times its weight in emissions. For off-grid production, it requires 70 gallons of diesel fuel to produce one indoor Cannabis plant, or 140 gallons with smaller, less-efficient gasoline generators.
