Based on current methods, yes. Those current methods will be undergoing a revolution in the next few years, one of drastically improved efficiency and productivity.

That suggestion also ignores some important facts on the ground, such as that ground being covered by pavement and buildings and therefore not accessible for farming. People are increasingly living in places only marginally suitable for farming or just outright inhospitable. Besides, isn't the use of renewable energy to run your growroom basically the same thing?

Only problem is you will spend over $50k on a nice greenhouse not the best to grow 3 crops a year and you still produce a carbon footprint just on manufacturing them then you need cooling, heating and grow lights. So professional greenhouse's are going to use power. Sure you can build cheap ones just pray you don't have any backyard pollen chuckers around (guilty):bigjoint:. Lol, Along with 1 crop per year so you would need about 3 times the greenhouse space along with a team of seasonal trimmers and curing. I can water and plant all 3 greenhouse's until I got to harvest that's when the work begins.

We do have a long way too at least 4 more years if Bernie Sanders don't win.

Dogs have a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive.
So do kids. Maybe we ought to have fewer dogs and brats?

Or maybe existing industrial polluters ought to be regulated in meaningful ways, for once.
Or maybe, just maybe, we'll lose our beach houses and seaports and have to learn new ways to adapt (again).

It should be clear now that we as a species haven't given enough of a shit in time to mitigate this change (climate) very well, if at all.

Sometimes we don't get to choose.

Speaking of things we'll have to adapt to as a species, how about the inevitable Full-Margin Rupture of the Cascadia Subduction Zone?

Happy 1st day of spring, everyone!

Would be great but you will probably pay more for solar than a greenhouse for a large op but you do use a lot of power in a greenhouse and you need lights anyway so yeah investing in solar ain't bad as well as better lighting technology. After all the prices will drop so much the little man won't be able to make enough to set up a good grow especially indoors or greenhouse with solar power. Got to strike while the iron is hot.

Outdoor will probably end up being mostly import and way better than brick weed as well just wait until south and central America can supply a legal market. So many possibilities with legal weed may have A grade to the smaller guys but I ain't paying $20 a gram maybe once in a blue moon not when I can pay even $200 for an ounce of B grade. :bigjoint: I really don't mind that vacuum sealed B grade from CA better than schwag but right now I'm cheaper for A grade but I ain't big enough to matter.:cry:

That doesn't scare me, I don't live in Seattle.

The natural catastrophes that would ruin my day- and everyone else's- would be if the supervolcanoes, aka caldera volcanoes of Mammoth Springs or Yellowstone erupted, or any space rock big enough to have a few acres of surface area or more strikes the Earth.

Or an authoritarian in the White House. I'm not sure if Cruz, Chump or Christie would be worst.

A grade will be the only grade people will smoke or vape directly. The rest either goes for hash or food production. I don't see the need for international transport of anything below A grade, in the style of cigars or similar.

Colorado already sells A grade ounces for well under $200/oz, I can see that heading south of a Franklin pretty quickly.

Sorry for the rant, y'all. The Yellowstone/Island Park Caldera system will be a doozy.
