At a recent Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm defended the goal of having all army vehicles be electric-powered, saying "as the President has said on numerous occasions, climate change is a bigger threat to the planet than nuclear war. Converting our armed forces to an all-electric vehicle fleet perfectly prioritizes this bigger threat."
"Some have pointed out that the majority of rare materials needed for electric-vehicle batteries come from China," Granholm observed. "The implication is that this would put our military readiness at the mercy of a potentially hostile China. What these critics overlook is that this commercial relationship would strengthen the financial bonds between our two countries and lessen the incentive for going to war with each other. This would free up military assets in both countries for other uses."
"As our intelligence agencies have warned, in the US the Catholic Church represents a serious threat of domestic terrorism," the Secretary claimed. "China is also battling against a similar threat. Instead of going to war with each other, the economic partnership needed to build an all-electric military with Chinese inputs can unify our two great nations in a common cause against a common enemy."
"What a lot of people don't appreciate is that the entire Biden family has been diligently working to improve the financial bonds between us and China," Granholm pointed out. "That the services the Bidens have rendered for China have been of value is demonstrated by the millions of dollars that have changed hands. This mutually valuable interchange should not be casually thrown away out of some visceral hatred of China or the courageous family that has broken new ground in our quest for a peaceful partnership with the world's greatest military power and most innovative form of government in world history. The President understands this. That is why he has repeatedly said he is not concerned about China. Let's not tear down what he has built."
When Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla) was apprised of Granholm's testimony, he called her characterization of the Biden family's business relationship with the Chinese government "pure fantasy. The Treasury Department documents I saw portrayed a complex web of transactions that the family went to great lengths to conceal. The Biden family doesn't really have a business. There is no legitimate product or service for sale. Promises of public policy favors were traded for cash payments. This is illegal and unethical. The notion that any tangible benefit for this country could be achieved by these machinations is ludicrous."

Hardly satire. Peace is achieved through victory. The all electric Biden military will lose any conflict. Especially a conflict with China.
The Chinese “Green Army” goal is to kill all of their enemies, and thereby removing their carbon dioxide breath from the earth, forever, with a result of a “Greener Earth”, populated by far less carbon dioxide breathers, especially non Asian. That is their “Green Goal”.
Hey, here’s an idea. How about making all government travel convert to electric vehicles and panes. Sfter all shouldn’t they set the example for us to follow?
How soon will the USAF field solar powered supersonic jet engine aircraft?
