Cultivation facilities will be required to pay a 15 percent excise tax on the wholesale sale of recreational marijuana. Retail purchases of retail marijuana will be subject to state and local sales tax. Retailers will collect sales tax from consumers and remit it to the state.
However, fossil fuels continue to supply nearly 80 percent of world energy use through 2040. Natural gas is the fastest-growing fossil fuel, as global supplies of tight gas, shale gas, and coalbed methane increase.
Although coal, oil, and natural gas are the world's most important energy sources, their dominance does not extend to all corners of the globe. In most places and times diversity and evolution in energy supplies has been the rule. In many areas muscle power and biomass energy remain indispensable or even primary.
