It does highlight the elephant in the room with all renewable energy sources. They all use up a lot of land. We have what used to be a coal-fired power station in the UK that could be replaced in terms of energy output by about 200 square miles of mirrors. Windfarms usually require even more space than solar farms.
For instance, a windfarm that covered eight times the area of Texas could power the USA. Would that be acceptable?
You might want to check my calculations but I reckon that if hemp produces as much energy as ethanol and the figure I found of hemp producing 207 gallons per hectare is correct then we would need to plant about 22,000,000 square miles of hemp to satisfy US energy demand.
For reference, the area of the USA is less than 4,000,000 square miles.
I saw a news story the other day on OAN about illegal cartel weed grow ops in CA that were using a ton of water - hurting legit farmers. That would also be a good reason to ban it - at least in places that are too stupid to figure out how to actually get and use water (with a GIGANTIC ocean to their west).
Take a look at some natural gas extraction sites. No, not the wind turbines, the smaller towers. How many can you make out?
Hahaha, funny. Since it is under the surface there must not be an issue, right?
Faggotry I say.

Hemp for victory is all I have to say.
Fuel, food, fun, health.. You name it, it does it.
It is banned lots of places for a reason.. And that reason is fighting liberty.

Perfect. Just not in my neighborhood.
Mining normally doesn't completely eradicate entire ecosystems as battery mines or the installation of wind turbines does.
