Biden says US spending billions to make military vehicles 'climate friendly'

#19  Can you imagine what a amphibious landing ship would look like with multiple lithium battery fires? Other than a rapidly sinking hulk I mean...

#18  War has always been eco friendly. Germany's carbon footprint was severely diminished in the 40's.

#17  Climate friendly vehicles could/should be some kind of bio-diesel as you can get the required fuel nearly anywhere. Mix that with a hybrid electric if you can do so properly to extend the range.

Modify shipping containers to have dozens of Tesla walls (or similar) inside and lots of power plugs so you can charge off a supercarriers power all day and helicopter it in to a forward base at night to charge up the vehicles before heading out again in the morning. They even have mini-nuke plants that could power up vehicles in super-safe areas.

Combine all that with sniffer tech on drones that could pick up regular diesel exhaust and you could pinpoint enemies within a certain range which might be useful.

Just spitballing. I know it's a corrupt boondoggle to pay off the usual suspects but some good could come out of it.

#15  Oh well, at least you use a picture of a 'Lib 'supporter, Jay Chandrasekhar, whenever you post a picture to remove posts.

What an improvement!

#13  There's that double standard, again.
People can call me "fucking stupid", or a "Moron", but, if i say the same thing to them my comment gets removed and their comment remains...


You've been abusive the whole time. Stop it.

#12  Fester Splat, no I don't think that has been taken in to consideration.

#11  Says the fucking morons who think that the US Government would let soldiers drive around in Humvees that need to be plugged in during a War to be charged.

Your comment is abusive.

#10  ERE#12... You can't be as fucking stupid as you seem?

#9  Fester Splat1466 I seriously doubt an environmentally friendly combat vehicle would be effective. Electric HUMMVEE's? Where would you charge them?

What next?

EPA to monitor all DOD Battles.

OR

Biden purposes the Military switch to Environment Paint Ball friendly Ammo that becomes fertilizer or animal food after being fired.

#6  "Our Earth is pristine," preached a primate
Whose carriage was kind to the climate.
His footmen kept fit
By collecting the shit...
And your money. "Please, do not begrime it!"

#3  Doesn't matter if they are effective or not as long as they are climate friendly, right?

#1  Biden says he will spend 'billions' making EVERY military vehicle climate-friendly, doesn't care about his friends in Nantucket complaining about windmills and mocks Trump for not thinking the environment crisis was 'obvious'
