Back in the 70's and 80's, the environmentalists focused on the more general concept of just cleaning up "pollution". I don't think anyone can argue against keeping toxic shit away from where you live and eat.

Now, there is an overlap between that pure intention and the ability to use carbon in high technology and energy storage and production. So, the powers that be have tried to rally the world into creating a system that focuses on carbon capture, control, and usage. Climate change or not, the fact that carbon is a burgeoning commodity can't be ignored. Hemp will be a necessary part of that upcoming system.

Something for everyone here Dogger, that's just another way you know it's the right place to be.

Lol, I'm telling you guys. The future is now:

"Nation's First Carbon Tax Could Be Enacted In Massachusetts"
Jul 18, 2019

Legislation (H.2810) introduced by Massachusetts Representative Jennifer E. Benson (D-Lunenburg) would impose a carbon tax of $20 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in the first year, increasing by $5 each year until the tax hits $40 per ton. A new study commissioned by the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance Foundation and conducted by the Beacon Hill Institute (BHI) finds that the average Massachusetts household would be hit with a tax hike of $755 in 2022 if Rep. Benson’s bill were to be enacted. By the fifth year, 2026, that annual tax hike would rise to $1,263 per household.

Down the road, you may have to grow hemp just to lower your taxes...
