Energy Secretary Wants 100% Military Electric Vehicles
[Townhall] Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm says she supports requiring the U.S. military to adopt an ALL-electric vehicle fleet by 2030.

During Earth Day remarks delivered in Washington state on April 22, Biden said, "We’re going to start the process for every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle is going to be climate-friendly."

"Every vehicle. I mean it. We’re spending billions of dollars to do it," he said.
Has Congress voted the funds for this?
Ah yes, this will work perfectly in places like Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Africa and everywhere else around the globe without electric charging stations. And how long does Granholm propose U.S. troops ask the enemy to hold off while they wait for days to recharge their military vehicles?

#4 /\ The 20+ year attempt at the democratization of AFG 'didn't work' either, but that stopped no one. Denial is usually a frequent siting along the road to failure.

#5  White House Ministry of Information Release
(Nov. 2024)


The US vs CCP Taiwan battle will be rescheduled as the CCP still has not shipped the needed EV parts.

As we have previously indicated, it's all Trump's fault for not adopting the DOD EV agenda, and instead supplying the US with abundant fossil fuels by fracking and drilling.

Please be aware, the Supreme Commander has dispatched the Director of procurement Hunter Biden on his private jet, to negotiate the release of the materials

#8 Fine. Just as soon as everybody in the administration (bar none) is riding around in electric limos, the rest can follow their enlightened leadership into the future.
Until then shut your pie hole.

#15 There wasn't any thought or rationale behind this. She just heard all the Cool Kids saying it, so she fell in line.

We could apparently save a lot of money by firing Jenny and hiring a parrot to run the DOE.
