However, the problem becomes clear when considering how these farms work. The cannabis is grown indoors, in controlled environments, which use massive amounts of electricity in order to function properly. In other [&#8230;]</p>

But that is of course changing with the wider adoption of electric cars and the lower price of renewables.
