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:

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."

EMP is produced by a very high altitude nuclear burst, which has little affect otherwise. No thickness of shielding helps with a close hit by a nuke. Tactical nukes will be a more effective battlefield choice than EMP.

It was supposed to be powered by the same engine used in a Type VII U-boat.

Jennifer Granholm is an unqualified idiot with no concept of what a military is supposed to be able to do. Then again the entire upper eschelon of the Pentagon has no clue either.

Electricity doesn’t just come out of the air. And you can’t take it with you to war, unless you bring generators, which have to be run by SOMETHING.

You're ignoring the obvious. Solar panels, lots of them covering our tanks. Electricity out of the air. Only thing is, ask the enemy to hold off attacking for the 3 or 4 days to charge up the tank to move 5 miles.

This woman needs a shrink.

[Dick Vomer]

Lots of charging stations out there in the wilderness.....

what a f@#king moron. How about choppers, missles, jets, tanks... going electric... can you imagine just the weight of the batteries...

How can this idiot be in charge of a lemonade stand????

... And a mulvaney militia providing manpower for their operation for the safety and security of America.

It all makes grand sense to the dems.

That is what I was talking about and remember the Soviets developed low yield suitcase nukes in the 60s and 70s.

[Gritty]

This woman is either incredibly stupid or incredibly evil.

I vote "BOTH".

[GingisK]

They did indeed develop those. On the other hand, tactical nukes that be fired from artillery are old hat now. The Russian commanders are allowed to use them if they have them. Our guys can use them only through special permission. The Russians have a lot of artillery, it is their weapon of choice.

Tactical nukes don't cause EMP. Only high altitude bursts do that.
