The Pentagon will install rooftop solar panels as Biden pushes clean energy in federal buildings

The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon, part of the Biden administration's plan to promote clean energy and “reestablish the federal government as a sustainability leader.”
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.

The solar panels are among several improvements set for the Pentagon, which also will install a heat pump system and solar thermal panels to reduce reliance on natural gas and fuel oil combustion systems

I'm saying there are dudes actively going around and make more holes in the boat with full knowledge of what they are doing. The Pentagon is one of them, the biggest hole maker if all time. They've shive a microscopic amount of cork into the most modest and least impactful of the hundreds of thousands of holes they are making. Also, they're still actively making more holes. All of them far larger than the one you are seeing patched in this story. They regularly argue for Congress to increase their hole making capacity.
It's greenwashing propaganda. And no, halfway solutions aren't good enough. We're not making it to shore, because the philosophy of incrmentalism prevents us from doing enough at once to turn the ship. The fuckers are still drilling new holes, and shifting our bearing a few degrees to port doesn't get us there.
And you're bellyaching about the people doing their best to plug their holes while having to bail the water out at the same time.
