Why Is The U.s. Military Buying Renewables?

The Department of Defense’s
. . . $1 billion, 300 megawatt solar power on military housing,
. . . . . . a distributed rooftop solar initiative that  
. . . . . . sprawls across dozens of facilities in 33 states.
. . . $120 million, 20 megawatt solar project at Fort Bliss.
. . . 4.1 MW White Sands missile range, completed this January.
. . . A contract for another 20-megawatt facility is already under way.

Given that part of the Army Net Zero vision is for
. . . bases to serve as sustainability partners with civilian communities,
. . . it’s about time for the “support our troops” legislators in Congress
. . . to quit stalling over a national renewable energy strategy and
. . . get on the train.
