From the people who brought us "green bullets," we now have plans for all-electric tanks to save the earth.
Which sounds more than a little odd, given the purpose of tanks.
But here's Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, testifying before Congress:
Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm says she supports requiring the U.S. military to adopt an ALL-electric vehicle fleet by 2030 pic.twitter.com/pw4F3jmrpo — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 26, 2023
According to Fox News:
Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Wednesday that she supports efforts from the Biden administration to require the U.S. military to implement an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030, telling lawmakers that she believes "we can get there."
Granholm's remarks came during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing following questions from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who asked the Biden administration official whether she supports the military's adoption of an "EV fleet by 2030."
"I do, and I think we can get there, as well," Granholm said. "I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels where we know that global events like the war in Ukraine can jack up prices for people back home… does not contribute to energy security."
"I think energy security is achieved when we have homegrown, clean energy that is abundant like you see in Iowa," Granholm added. "We think we can be a leader globally in how we have become energy independent."

Yeah tell our enemies what you want to put on the battlefield and short range EMP for the win!
“I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels...”
************
While we increase our global reliance and subservience to unreliable countries who supply critical minerals to build EVs.
What do suburban women and independent voters think about this stupidity?
I want to get on the “right side” of this politically. (sarcasm)
She is totally inept, like her president.
I would agree to an all electric army if Granholm and Biden were in the lead vehicle!!!!!
Dylan Mulvaney is ecstatic!...............
I wonder if China and Russia have set the same goal for their militaries.
There simply isn’t enough raw precious minerals on the planet to build even a fraction of what they propose
And you’d still need fossil fuels to mine, produce and forge the steel
These are stupid stupid people
Clown Show.
She’s about as qualified and capable at her job as I would be if they put me in a spacesuit tomorrow to land on the moon.
She’s a lawyer, not an engineer, chemist or physicist.
if these people actually believe their own bull$hit then they are truly complete morons...
I don’t always look for advice on military planning, but when I do I ask a Canadian-American egghead lawyer.
Does she even know how many military devices are run by generators, which are run by fuel??
Electricity doesn’t just come out of the air. And you can’t take it with you to war, unless you bring generators, which have to be run by SOMETHING.
I think you’d probably be significantly more qualified to land on the moon than she is for her job.
Stupid.
It would be like ‘decommissioning’ all of our military vehicles, because, they won’t be running or working, and if they work, it would be for perhaps 20-200 miles, at best.
But, we could hope that the enemy would allow us to recharge and not do battle until we’re ready to go again.
Let’s face it, there is NOBODY in our government that knows what the “F: they’re doing, and our woke military is full of socialists who are in leadership positions because of ‘diversity’ and not because they’re smart or knowledgeable or trained to win.
Our military is, in fact, getting defunded, just like law enforcement in blue cities.
