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
Because the US army is the number 1 polluter of all time. We’ve been through this.
So, they can’t take steps to reduce that?
Yeah they sure can! But they’re not… They’re continuing to increase their carbon footprint while making people like you feel good about a few solar panels lol.
Yeah, because installing solar panels, getting more efficient HVAC aren’t steps…
This isn’t all or nothing.
They are microscopic steps in comparison to the leaps and bounds the US military makes in terms of CO2. You asked how it’s greenwashing, multiple people have explained it to you, either you understand it or you don’t.
Wow, your standards suck.
Because they’re higher than yours? We’re literally heading full steam ahead into a climate apocalypse and you’re excited about some solar panels on a roof?
Why are you criticising it?
