Companies that cultivate cannabis as a commodity, like wheat, on farms, indoors, or in greenhouses. For example, Canopy Growth, Aurora Cannabis, and Aphria are three of Canada’s largest cannabis cultivation companies.

Meanwhile, premiers from Fredericton to Regina are arrayed against the federal Liberal carbon-pricing scheme, while the Conservative Opposition in Ottawa sinks its teeth into the plan every chance it gets.

Companies incorporating marijuana as an ingredient into consumer goods, like Molson Coors Brewing (NYSE:TAP), which has a licensing deal with HEXO Corp to create cannabis-infused beverages in Canada.

In the Dec. 16 story, “Will 2019 be the year Oregon gets climate change bill to finish line?” The Oregonian/OregonLive wrote about the heavy lift it will take for the Clean Energy Jobs bill to be voted on and passed in the upcoming 2019 Oregon legislative session.

That renewable energy can also replace fossil fuel to power automobiles. There were more than three million electric cars on the road in 2017. The International Energy Agency predicts that number will balloon to 125 million by 2030.

Stuppy Greenhouse Manufacturing President Matt Stuppy says the driving force on many recent upgrades involves having better environmental control associated with crop changes. That encompasses controllers, lighting, shade systems, and more.

And effective regulations to bring down emissions are not free. They cost people serious money, whether as taxpayers, ratepayers or consumers. Ontario’s phase-out of coal-fired power plants was a really effective, really expensive carbon tax: it helped reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in the energy sector by almost 20 per cent – but it also helped raise electricity rates by 70 per cent. Likewise, simply forcing people to drive Teslas and Nissan Leafs will either be really expensive for most drivers or really expensive for taxpayers if the government steps in with subsidies. It might a good idea; it’s definitely a kind of tax.

Marijuana is much more than just a commodity. In fact, despite all the hype surrounding the cannabis industry, the profit potential of this plant is still oft underestimated.
