Earth Day, which was created by a man who killed his girlfriend and composted her body in a closet, is over. Joe Biden had a special announcement to commemorate the occasion. Our military is going green. I’m not kidding. We’re going to spend an absurd amount of money retrofitting everything to have planet-friendly armed forces. You know that means a less efficient military. Take out the word ‘rapid’ when referring to our armed forces’ capabilities should this overhaul be successful. All I can say to this initiative is ‘Jesus, take the wheel’ (via Fox News):
President Biden on Friday said his administration is working to make "every vehicle" in the United States military "climate-friendly."
The president, delivering Earth Day remarks from Seward Park in Seattle, Washington, discussed his administration’s efforts to address climate change, and called on Congress to take action.
"One of the things I found out as President of the United States, I get to spend a lot of that money," Biden said. "We’re going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle — I mean it."
He added: "We’re spending billions of dollars to do it."

I hear those M1 Abrams Tanks can run about 30 minutes on a full charge, the real problem is getting them recharged takes about 4-5 hours
I’m looking forward to sustainable wind powered nuclear weapons.
The new Army - green and gay.
Someone who knows better than can tell me.
If you were serious about green.. wouldn’t you put a couple charging stations at ever to gas station across America? Roughly a 1/4 of a million charging stations?
It's just plain stupid.
I’m actually in favor of a military coup when 0-6 and below and E-7 and below take out all politicians and generals, and their civilian counterparts.
These retards will get us all killed.
Congress doesn’t have to fund it.

"I YAM WHAT I YAM!"
Will be waiting breathlessly to see the new bombs, rockets, artillery and bullets that won’t put holes in Mother Erf. /s
So chargers are all over the place? Desert war. Waterways.
Idiocracy rolls on.
The sole purpose of an army is to break things. Not be stewards of the environment.
More likely they will order every gas station to install one at the station’s own expense.
When I was in the Army (a long time ago), we planned on mileage for tanks to be 5 gallons per mile. I don’t care how green the vehicle is, a 53 ton vehicle is not going to do better than that and an electric motor won’t get you to the motor pool gate.
Battery powered clean carbon neutral Aircraft come in all colors matching transgender pilot earrings.
How much will he need to spend on battlefield recharging infrastructure? I guess it needs to be mobile as well. Can’t have stationary targets. Gas turbine powered mobile generators I suppose. Some people are just incapable of seeing the consequences of their bright ideas.
Any idea how far the new B-21 Raider bomber can fly un-recharged?
Green versions of JP5, JP8, Jet A1 and F76, Are about 10x more expensive and cause severe degradation to engines due to methanol content which wreaks havoc on seals and other sensitive parts.
As I write this, some woke tranny flag rank is directing the budget be configured to siphon $$ from the $$ from training, flight time, and parts to mandate the use of an ineffective, damaging and scarce commodity.
