100% made in USA, priced super affordable ($15/3oz), archival grade, forgery resistant, waterproof, quick drying, etc etc. They call it bulletproof ink.
So basically it's an amazingly high quality ink that you get a large amount of for a really fair and affordable price.

There needs to be a corporate death penalty. When they pull this shit there needs to be a means to take it into receivership, replacement all the C suite/management (toss their asses in jail), remove the ownership/stockholders and nationalize the entity until further decisions about the future of the org can be made.
I'm sick of teams of high priced attorneys and their bought off politicians allowing this country and it's people to be repeatedly raped by corporate america.

That depends are we defining energy simply as electricity in this case? Because outdoor AG uses a ton of energy, just in different forms (both direct and indirect).
Edit: Okay so I started down the rabbit hole of off-site linked articles they use, they're using the terms interchangeably so energy = electricity for these purposes.
I only have the 2016 numbers at hand but the rough estimate for outdoor AG in the US is a total use of 1,975 petajoules (this will have grown substantially) and cannabis would be 596 petajoules which is still a very impressive number actually given they're fundamentally a monocrop.
FYI if you're wondering our server centers are getting close to that outdoor AG energy usage though. It's possible our server farms will need more energy input than our actual food producing farms soon.
