The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon as part of a Biden administration plan to promote energy conservation and clean energy

The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon, part of the Biden administration’s plan to promote clean energy and “reestablish the federal government as a sustainability leader.”

The Pentagon is one of 31 government sites that are receiving $104 million in Energy Department grants that are expected to double the amount of carbon-free electricity at federal facilities and create 27 megawatts of clean-energy capacity while leveraging more than $361 million in private investment, the Energy Department said.

The solar panels are among several improvements set for the Pentagon, which also will install a heat pump system and solar thermal panels to reduce reliance on natural gas and fuel oil combustion systems

    They are microscopic steps in comparison to the leaps and bounds the US military makes in terms of CO2. You asked how it’s greenwashing, multiple people have explained it to you, either you understand it or you don’t.

        Because they’re higher than yours? We’re literally heading full steam ahead into a climate apocalypse and you’re excited about some solar panels on a roof?

            Why wouldn’t you criticize obvious bullshit? This is like, to take it to the extreme example, Hitler wanting praise for giving a Jewish guy a medal once.

              What?

              Oh, I get it. Nothing is going to be good enough you.

              Just go back to whatever echo chamber you came out of. Your view and likening it to hilter shows you aren’t actually thinking.

              Is what the pentagon has done enough? Not by a lightyear. But you’ve shown that you aren’t connected to reality with the hitler comparison.

                Nah I’m just sick of pretending to be happy about feel good propaganda.

                If you take such umbridge with a simple comparison, I’d suggest you get off the internet until you’ve grown up some more.

                  And you might want to lay off the doomer sauce.

                    I think you’d have to be an idiot to see the flickering in so many different earth systems and still think you have time for business as usual neoliberalism. Good luck with that.
