Hegseth pushes on-site energy plan for US military bases
Original: US Defense Sec'y Pete Hegseth somehow has a sustainable vision for the US military, complete with on-site energy. https:
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is being discussed for reportedly backing a sustainability vision for the US military, including on-site energy generation modeled loosely on the 15-minute city concept, according to CleanTechnica. Commenters express surprise that a defense secretary would champion sustainable energy, noting the potential contrast with his usual political positioning and the military's interest in energy resilience.
Why now: People find it unexpected that Pete Hegseth, a conservative figure, is being linked to sustainability and on-site energy initiatives at the Pentagon
