America’s Department of Energy has sponsored an initiative that will enable the development of hemp fiber insulation. The initiative will be designed for public health, safety, and the betterment of the environment. The investment entails a yearly stipend of $90,000 and an additional $200,000 given to Tommy Gibbons, the COO of Idaho’s Hempitecture. This goal can be achieved through research, and Gibbons is optimistic that his company can engage in productive research to achieve the goal.
