People growing marijuana indoors use 1 percent of the U.S. electricity supply, and
they create 17 million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year (not counting the
smoke exhaled) according to a report by Evan Mills, an energy analyst at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory.

After medical pot use was made legal in California in 1996, Mills says, per-person
residential electricity use in Humboldt County jumped 50 percent compared to other
parts of the state.

In order to produce some 17,000 metric tons of marijuana this year, Mills estimates
authorized growers will use $5 billion worth of energy. That works out to the
output of seven big electric power plants.
