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
Well no. The Pentagon is an office building. The second largest office building on the planet installing solar and improving it’s heating efficiency is a pretty big win.
The funding to modernize federal buildings didn’t include the entire DoD because a tank or F-35 isn’t considered a building.
Offtopic, but what office building is bigger?

I literally learned this as I posted because I wanted to verify that the Pentagon was the largest and had to revise what I was about to send.
Hey look the greenwashing worked.
This demonstrates why a lot of people in the “green” movement don’t get taken seriously, and deservedly so.
Can you share your Congressional omnibus bill of all-time that solves all of the worlds problems, perfectly, in one-shot, with majority support?
The fucks trying to pretend the democrats aren’t Just as bad as the repubs on this issue further cement our fate lol.
