From the people who brought us "green bullets," we now have plans for all-electric tanks to save the earth.
Which sounds more than a little odd, given the purpose of tanks.
But here's Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, testifying before Congress:
Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm says she supports requiring the U.S. military to adopt an ALL-electric vehicle fleet by 2030 pic.twitter.com/pw4F3jmrpo — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 26, 2023
According to Fox News:
Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Wednesday that she supports efforts from the Biden administration to require the U.S. military to implement an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030, telling lawmakers that she believes "we can get there."
Granholm's remarks came during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing following questions from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who asked the Biden administration official whether she supports the military's adoption of an "EV fleet by 2030."
"I do, and I think we can get there, as well," Granholm said. "I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels where we know that global events like the war in Ukraine can jack up prices for people back home… does not contribute to energy security."
"I think energy security is achieved when we have homegrown, clean energy that is abundant like you see in Iowa," Granholm added. "We think we can be a leader globally in how we have become energy independent."

Well of course you tow gasoline generators behind all of them. DUH!
Democrats are stupid AND INSANE.
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE.CHARGING STATIONS ARE IN THE WAR THEATER ?
In 2031 we’re getting invaded.
“PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE.CHARGING STATIONS ARE IN THE WAR THEATER ?”
Dont need them. Haven’t you heard of electrical extension cords?
Priorities. Let’s make the military woke and green.
Tank driver: can you direct me to the nearest charging station?
This would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. “Hey Taliban, would you mind installing some charging stations throughout the middle east? Otherwise, we be stuck!”
Hard to tell if they are stupid or just want America to decline ya both an option
How stupid! If we are fortunate this will never happen because in January 2025 all the phags, phreaks, and phanatics currently infesting WDC will scurrying out of town.
Hopefully ...
No limit to Jennifer Granholm’s stupidity
Yeh, sure. 🙄
I want to see the Electric F-35 with a battery the size of a C-17.
👍
😀
I doubt they give much thought to the validity of what they say. Every word is focus-grouped to determine its public reception. That means that a large enough percentage of the voting populace will buy into their magical power generation scheme to get them elected.
Does Granholm get her stupidity cleared by administration handlers before she opens her piehole? I guess not. They rather spend the next 2 weeks cleaning up her mess
but who’s gonna put in all the charging stations before a conflict???
By 2030? Why wait? Do it now! (sarc)
2030 is 7 years away. We can’t even design a new tank in 7 years time.
No it is not, but you also have to remember that no shielding full protects from a very close range EMP. Plus shielding an Electric Vehicle is going to make it heavier, which is going to drain the core quicker requiring more charges.
Like a Blue Planet, one might say...
