The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon as part of a Biden administration plan to promote energy conservation and clean energy

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

    This is the true consequence of half measures. They take up the space where a full measure could have been made, and steal the impetus a full measure requires.

    And only your vision for that full measure, yes? Irrespective of what others think? You’re preaching facism, and it has no place in the USA thank you very much.

      Social security was a full measure. It covered all Americans. It did the entire job it set out to do.

      It is an example of a full measure.

      The postal service is a full measure. It doesn’t cover some of the addresses. It cover all of them.

      The American public school system covers all students.

      That is what I mean by a full measure and the equate that to facism is beyond idiotic.
