Tim Walz Pushed to Power U.S. Navy with Algae to Fight Climate ChangeJoshua Klein 30 Aug 2024
Democrat vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz argued for using algae to power the United States Navy as part of his efforts to fight climate change, claiming that sustainable energy solutions are crucial for military resilience.
During a debate with his then-opponent, Republican Jim Hagedorn, in Winona, Minnesota, in 2016, Walz spoke of the growing recognition that climate change is a pressing concern that cannot be ignored.
While noting that the nation’s armed forces can adopt new eco-friendly resources, Walz insisted that “the Pentagon is not a bunch of green tree-huggers.”
According to Walz, the Pentagon sees climate change as a significant risk that impacts not only the environment but national security.
“The Pentagon understands it’s a risk to the climate, it’s a risk to the environment, and it’s a national security issue,” he declared. “They’re trying to create the Great Green Fleet, where we power our Navy using algae.”
Walz has consistently supported radical climate change initiatives, pushing policies like a carbon-free electric grid by 2040.
