Joe Biden Wants Every US Military Vehicle To Be Climate Friendly
By Paul Homewood
If you thought we were potty enough in this country, than God we are not living the senile idiot who supposedly is in charge of the USA:
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said she supports requiring the military to have an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030:
ERNST: “Do you support the military adopting that EV fleet by 2030?”
GRANHOLM: “I do, and I think we can get there as well. And I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels where we know that global events such as the war in Ukraine can jack up prices for people back home does not contribute to energy security.”
Granholm added: “I think energy security is achieved when we have homegrown, clean energy that is abundant like you see in Iowa. We think we can be a leader globally in how we have become energy independent.”
Could you imagine?! It’s bad enough that the Department of Defense has a scorecard to keep itself accountable as it advances “environmental justice for communities across America.”
The DOD has at least 640 staff working “on environmental justice, either in a full- or part-time capacity.”
President Joe Biden has been pushing this agenda since last April. He admitted it would cost billions:
While delivering Earth Day remarks from Seward Park in Seattle, Washington, Biden said last April his administration is working to make “every vehicle” in the United States military “climate-friendly.”
“One of the things I found out as President of the United States, I get to spend a lot of that money,” Biden said at the time. “We’re going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle — I mean it.”
He added: “We’re spending billions of dollars to do it.”
No wonder we couldn’t execute proper plans in Afghanistan or Sudan. The military is more concerned about environmental justice.
In the US they are lucky to have the GOP to oppose these foolish policies, and hopefully reverse them someday.
Which is more than we can say in the UK.
Here’s a simple question for the Simpleton Joe:
Next time you invade a country, how will you know they will have sufficient EV charging stations?

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Paul, do read the date at the top of the press release. It was obviously April 1st wasn’t it. Wasn’t it?
I thought it was Babylon Bee.! It sounds like one of their articles. I read it everyday.
Why even have a military? So all of the vehicles will be electric? Might as well use Nerf missiles, too.
Unicorn flatulence as a chemical weapon?
If it contains methane it’s NOT climate friendly!!
You do know our military and also Nato are wanting to remove the lead from bullets to make them more environmentally friendly I kid you not! Let us not worry about the effectiveness of the alternative…when we are thaving the pwanet. These people are 5th columnists or just plain traitors. Marxism by any other name
Let’s start with an all-electric Air Force 1.
A sponsored AF1?
Or an electric tank.
And get China to do the electrics
Use Unicorn pee and fairy dust for power generation.
IMO, the UK should apply to join BRICS asap.
Leave the US in the safe hands of a care home prospect.
Basically, I figured that what she was after was to get EVs in non-battlefield situations – so really, just Staff cars. I’d hate to think what would happen if an EV driver suddenly found he (could be a ‘she’) was about to be attacked because a battlefield had decided to come to them. Apparently she has Chinese links….
They won’t need EV charging points – they will have container sized generators which will be fuelled by…….you guessed it!
Paul – you MUST check for typos before pressing ‘send’
Mistakes destroy credibility – and it looks unprofessional.
Get a little team of friends who will proof read before you mail out.
Better to wait half an hour than send with mistakes.
OUR ENEMIES WILL SEIZE ON MISTAKES – look what happened to Tucker Carlson!
What – Tucker Carlsson was taken down by a typo?
“”…every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle — I mean it.”
He added: “We’re spending billions of dollars to do it.””
Can’t you just hear the Chinese laughing their socks off???
“ERNST: “Do you support the military adopting that EV fleet by 2030?”
GRANHOLM: “I do, and I think we can get there as well.”
Get there? Not without using conventional vehicles that run on gasoline and biofuels. Transportation fuels that Mr. Biden wants to eliminate to zero emissions by 2050.
Fabulous idea. What forethought: Reduce your dependence on the instability of fossil fuels by buying a bunch of unreliable, temperamental, highly inflammable battery powered military vehicles. You can recharge these electric APCs and Jeeps with a Jerry can, right? It’s just that simple and quick, right? Just pour five gallons of charge right in the vehicle, right? Xi Jinping is rolling on the floor laughing at the latest edit from Beijing Biden and Co.
At least it would give the troops a break whilst waiting for the tank to charge up. You know tea and bicuit sort of thing. FFS. It sounds like a plot from Black Adder!
Corporal did we have any casualties in todays battle ? Yes sir 43 died of shocks.
America has never won any conflict it has entered into since 1945.
Biden just wants to ensure that legacy continues. A truly great tactician. Hence blowing up Europe’s gas supply. Marvelous.
A simple search on U Tube will show the clip where Beijing Biden announced, “If Putin invades Ukraine, the Nord Stream will cease to exist.” When pushed by a reporter , How would that be possible? Brandon replies, “Believe me. We will make it happen.” And he did, with a little help from Scandinavian countries. But of course, lyin’ Biden denied it and blamed the pipeline explosions on, you guessed it, Putin. I thought he would blame Trump, but he went with what he knows, Russia, Russia, Russia.
The Germans halted NS2 certification on 22 February 2022 and it never delivered any gas although one of the two pipes remains operable. The US presumably put pressure on the Germans to ‘make it happen’. Both NS1 pipes have been blown up. There was no delivery from NS1 at the time it was blown up because of alleged equipment problems. The loss of NS1 allows Gazprom to claim ‘force majeure’ to excuse the failure to deliver gas according to the contract and hence avoid claims for non performance.

Keep on believing the BS. Bragging Biden just could not help himself when he told us “the quiet part” aloud.
Don’t think any of that is BS. Facts and obvious inferences. Who blew up the pipelines and powerlines in Georgia in 2006? The collapse of the USSR in December 1991 was triggered by a ham fisted attempt to strongarm Belarus over gas supply (Belovezha Accords). I saw a comment that ‘Russia played its energy card too soon and its nuclear card too late’. Let’s hope the latter proves correct.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph & the wee donkey!
I wonder how much the battery for an Abrams MBT would weigh? A Tesla battery would last about 5 minutes.
Just grab a Jerry Can full of charge and pour it in.
Par for the woke/cc course.
Idiots in charge though that word must be nonPC.
Well with no charging points you are safe from invasion by the USA!
Madness.
I’ve maintained that green energy is a de-industrialization policy and that would lead to de-militarization.
The Biden administration has found a way to cut out the middle step and go directly to de-militarization with a climate friendly military vehicles.
Wait, you have forgotten about the Magic Jerry Cans with five gallons of charge each. Just form a line of grunts, and pour em in.
The H-bomb is actually very green, simply takes Hydrogen for a few loops into Tritium and then up to Beryllium and then back a bit into Helium. We do need a bit of Plutonium to get it started , but it is still friendly green. So we are going to ban conventional weapons and just use H-bombs, it is so much greener,
Greenpeace, WWF and FoE are all on our side, Biden is passing legislation now. God Bless Us.
Luke 23 V 34 Father forgive them for they know not what we do!
Well stated. I particularly like your Biblical reference–most apropos.
Wut? Where the heck did you get that BS, Geoff?
The tritium in the bomb comes from lithium-6 deuteride.
Each vehicle pulls a trailer with a diesel generator, simple really.
Excellent idea. A really long extension cord would have too much line loss, and just be a hassle.
Don’t laugh, I believe that the head of the British Army spoke at length quite a while ago about his desire to save humanity from climate nastiness by electrifying the machines he wanted to use to wipe out the humanity in front of him on the battlefield. Makes perfect sense, if you are a complete moron.
Excellent point, Mack. The irony is palpable. Sort of reminds me of the old Jules Vern? novel with Cpt Nemo and his secret submarine, Nautalist? prowling the seas, destroying warships to, “put an end to war.” But I digress.
This is the most terrifying thing that I have read in ages. I have met a few really low IQ people in my 69 years but this takes the cake. Please tell us that this is a joke. Please.
Read it and weep, 4 Eyes. That’s our Beijing Biden, creating a market for his boss, Xi Jinping, and his batteries. Joe is nothing if not loyal to his owners.
Don’t lithium batteries have to be replaced after even a slight bump or dent.
That’s going to fun on a battle field 🙂
This sounds smart! A few armour piercing rounds will turn the EV into an incinerator.
In WW2 it was called brewing up.

Skimming all 32 pages of this total piece of shit, the only ACTUAL found is to be “climate ready.”
Obviously, the original plan of the DoD was to do precisely nothing until 2050 rolled around – when the nonsense would be somebody else’s problem
Now they have been told to do something by 2030, by the swivel-eyed loons of the Biden regime. Well, bureaucrats have a thousand ways to disobey.
Excellent point. These things (EVs) are dangerous charging in your front yard. What kind of lunatic thinks they are battle tested tough–Beijing Biden. Send in the clowns: Brandon will do.
I hate to think “conspiracy” but why is both a US energy secretary and UK energy ministers using “homegrown” in this way? There is something strange in the way identical words and phrases, often meaninlrss and stupid, are neing used by politicians in many differemt countries.
And why is a US energy secretary saying “homegrown” as if the US doesn’t produce oil?
“…why…’homegrown’…?”
Sounds cosy; like saying ‘homecooked’ on restaurant menus, when all they do is re-heat bags of factory food in the micro-wave. Also, politicians always tediously insinuate that the blame for being vulnerable to blackmail from foreigners lies with the sharks in those countries, rather than with our governments, who gave them the leverage in the first place. Shades of Harold Wilson and the ‘Gnomes of Zurich!”
Since the USA and UK elites have done their best to trash everything local, small, and traditional, for many decades now, it is all a bit rich.
“…leverage…”
Somewhat apropos:

“I hate to think “conspiracy” but why is both a US energy secretary and UK energy ministers using “homegrown” in this way? “
Because they are politicians, and politicians LIE – it’s what they do. Virtually none of this magical energy is really “homegrown”, since harvesting it requires raw materials & products which come from other countries, primarily China. This makes it just as likely that our military could be severely hamstrung in a future conflict as they would be due to lack of gas & diesel fuel…
I just do not know how this is not seen as a criminal act and an automatic cause for impeachment because it MUST reduce the ability to fight a war…AND WIN which it is all about.
I say that while understanding we have over promoted wilful idiots in the British armed forces who also want to compromise our ability to fight or defend ourselves in the name of saving the planet.
Surely at the very least they MUST demonstrate no degradation of our armed forces to fight in any scenario.
“We’re going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle — I mean it.”
Biden is Clown-in-chief.
How are they planning to replace the CO2-emitting explosives? I suppose they could teach the infantry to throw javelins and wave swords. It worked for the Romans, didn’t it?
Bonus here Paul. After the first day, the enemy will be able to walk around taking potshots at all the stranded tanks. Fish in Barrel comes to mind. What happens if the enemy doesn’t need charging points?
Nations can prevent US invasion by not having any charging points.
As different railroad gauges hampered Barbarossa, perhaps proprietary charger plugs could kill the Americans.
And do the Americans build for 60Hz, or 50Hz? An invasion could fail because they chose wrong.
Never mind Russia, China will be running on coal and oil or hasn’t she heard of China
Next time you invade a country, how will you know they will have sufficient EV charging stations?
That won’t matter. Their opponents will focus on crippling the electricity grid of whichever country the US is invading or defending, as a top priority.
So when those military electric vehicles (tanks?) are away from their base, ie in the middle of a foreign country, where do they plug in?
Well according to the IEA China has over half of all public EV chargers in the world so that’s the obvious place to start!
So… Atlas can shrug off the Monarchic as well as the Colonial Kleptocracy. Kewl.
