The Earth’s Champion Johnny Green explains “How solar panels and petroleum work together for clean energy…..because Renewables Ain’t Doable Without Fossil Fuelables”.
After winning the The Earth’s Championship over Memorial Day weekend in 2019, Johnny Green and his Championship catchphrase “Renewables Ain’t Doable Without Fossil Fuelables” has been capturing carbon and collective consciousnesses all over the United States.
In this Planet Service Announcement, The Greatest Environmentalist on Earth Johnny Green explores how the cannabis industry has seen unprecedented growth in recent years due to the legalization of recreational and medical use of the plant in various countries and states around the world.
As the industry continues to expand and evolve, the need for more efficient and cost-effective production methods is becoming increasingly apparent.
Petroleum-based products are playing an increasingly important role in the cannabis industry, providing a range of solutions to the production problems faced by growers and extractors.
Petroleum products are used extensively in the cannabis industry and can be found in a variety of forms.
The most common application is as a solvent for extraction, with petroleum-derived solvents such as butane, propane, and hexane being used to extract desirable compounds from the plant material.
These compounds, such as terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavonoids, are then used to create the various cannabis products that are available on the market.
Petroleum-based products are also used in the cultivation of cannabis plants.
Many commercial growers rely on petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides to ensure optimal growth and quality of their crops. 
These products provide essential nutrients and protection from insects and diseases, and are often cheaper and more efficient than organic alternatives.
Petroleum products are also used in the packaging and transportation of cannabis products. Petroleum-derived plastic is the most common packaging material used in the cannabis industry, as it is affordable and lightweight.
This plastic is also used to create the airtight containers that are used to transport cannabis products, as they provide a safe and secure way to transport the delicate goods.
Finally, petroleum-based products are used in the production of cannabis concentrates. Cannabis concentrates are created by using solvents to extract desirable compounds from the plant material.
Petroleum-derived solvents such as butane and propane are commonly used for this process, as they are efficient and relatively inexpensive. Additionally, petroleum-based solvents can be used to create a variety of different cannabis concentrate textures, such as shatter, wax, and oil.
In conclusion, petroleum products are playing an increasingly important role in the cannabis industry.
From extraction and cultivation to packaging and transportation, petroleum-based products provide essential solutions to the production problems faced by growers and extractors.
As the cannabis industry continues to evolve and grow, petroleum-based products will remain an essential part of the industry for years to come.

Weekly Sponsor: Stephen Heins, The Practical Environmentalist
Historically, Heins has been a writer on subjects ranging from broadband and the US electricity grid, to environmental, energy and regulatory topics.
Heins is also a vocal advocate of the Internet of Everything, free trade, and global issues affecting the third of our planet that still lives in abject poverty.
Heins is troubled by the Carbon Tax, Cap & Trade, Carbon Offsets and Carbon Credits, because he questions their efficacy in solving the climate problem, are too gamable by rent seekers, and are fraught with unreliable accounting.
Heins worries that climate and other environmental reporting in the US and Europe has become too politicized, ignores the essential role carbon-based energy continues to play in the lives of billions, demonizes the promise and practicality of Nuclear Energy and cheerleads for renewable energy sources that cannot solve the real world problems of scarcity and poverty.
