I realized something the other day that wasn't pointed out in that article. As some of you may already be aware of, the coal burning power plants are already more enviromentally safe than the nuclear power plants, and arguably even the hydroelectric dams (, when the dams are built, the vegetation that is often sunken under the water, lets off large amounts of greenhouse gasses); due to the advent of the CO2 scrubbers they place in the exhaust pipes of those power plants.

 

Now, if the same tech was applied to a Hemp burning power plant, and our nation was using a large amount of such power plants, it would actually be cleaning a huge amount of CO2 from out planet's atmosphere daily. Pretty good thing if you ask me.

Not to mention adding to the soils nuetrients wherever it grew^
