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

    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.

        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.
