U.S. Air Force and Space Force officials released a climate action plan Wednesday that includes a goal of operating bases at net-zero emissions by 2046, an ambitious effort to rein in the sizable carbon footprint of the U.S. military’s air wing.
The plan released Wednesday is the first of its kind in Air Force history and joins a growing list of acknowledgments from U.S. armed forces that they will have to make changes as climate change intensifies.
The plan also aims to include, within the next two years, climate considerations into the way it educates and trains Air Force and Space Force personnel.
“I want them to get to a place where, as they make decisions, even at the tactical level down at the base, they make those decisions based upon what risks and effects climate change can have on the ability of them doing their job every day,” Oshiba said.
The most ambitious goal in the plan is to shift the department away from its reliance on fossil fuels as both aviation fuel and as an energy source, something crucial for meeting the lofty net-zero emission goals.
“While the department cannot singularly reverse the causes of climate change, we can reduce our energy footprint and increase demand for zero-carbon-based energy sources,” the Air Force plan reads. “We must both reduce our energy con

Speaking of laughing people to death....have you seen the old video of the experiment with British soldiers dosed with LSD without their knowledge? They got these kids tripping, and then sent them on field exercises to see what would happen...
Why?

Apparently
The death of the West by constant stupidity
This crap is going to get people killed for real. A lot of people.
I hope this guy walks into traffic.
One less human carbon footprint.
Yeah, jets without aviation fuel...great idea.
Yes. Insane is the only word.
We need to develop a cool acronym like E2.
There’s quite a few here.
Nation killing madness.
The President as Commander in Chief has the plenary authority to relieve all guilty officers of their commands. Whether he can fire them or not, I don’t know. Washington, Madison, and Lincoln all took command of US forces in the field, under their constitutional authority as Commander in Chief. If you can command forces in the field, you can unilaterally relieve subordinates that no longer repose your trust and confidence. But will the next President *do it*?
They need Gomer Pyle style blanket parties.
Deep state would fight tooth and nail.
Let them fight. And be crushed.
Yes.
Wasn’t just in the book. Political officers were a real fact of life in the Soviet military. Now, they are a fact of life in ours.
Can’t wait to see the first supersonic electric powered fighter aircraft.
And the fleet of remodeled B-52 bombers running on solar power.
I dont think Trump had any good idea what he was up against. Nobody ever remembers the massive purges of the generals under Obama.
