Pentagon’s Latest Plan To Fight ‘Climate Change’: Chinese Solar Panels On Its Rooftops
by Katie Pavlich  1 day ago 
 

The Pentagon, a U.S. military installation located right across the river from Washington D.C., is entertaining a proposal to load up the campus with Chinese-manufactured solar panels. [emphasis, links added]

“The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon, part of the Biden administration’s plan to promote clean energy and ‘re-establish the federal government as a sustainability leader,’ ” PBS reports.


“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.”

Republicans in Congress are trying to stop the project from going through.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Is it possible for our government to be any more stupid?

And when I say "stupid", I am giving them the benefit of a daily-increasing amount of doubt.

Never mind that the technology involved is known to be wildly inefficient and utterly undependable when the sun is either blocked by clouds or at too low a declination (seasonal angle) to provide a useful power source.  And also, never mind that the impact of solar panels on any "global warming" would be absolutely negligible - not even measurable.

Now: consider the inherent danger of purchasing equipment from America's prime military adversary and then intentionally placing it in a facility whose purpose is to command, control, and communicate with the armed forces whose purpose is to protect America against the same adversary.

And then, given China's well-documented propensity for incorporating spyware into their manufactured products, well... it gets even stupider.  And dangerous.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Aside from it being a dumb ass idea, I can remember that once upon a time when you couldn't couldn't use any non American material in government facilities, not just Federal but local like schools. Now we'll let our enemies crap be installed anywhere 9999hair out0000 9999hair out0000 9999hair out0000
