Reply to comment by Gagarin1961 in GM will make an Ultium battery pack prototype for the US military by redingerforcongress

I’d recommend you look into the military and see that they’ve already been doing a lot of that. They’ve been moving away from fossil fuels for years now. Just because you don’t see a member of congress talking about it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. US military reliance on fossil fuels has been dropping for years already.

I have looked into it, but there is no big push to turn the military green. No politician is talking about it.

I guess because it can’t be used for divisive purposes? Are the democrats really using climate change to “get” corporations or do they want to actually put effort into the emissions they actually control?

There isn’t a “big push” politically because it is already happening. The military long ago realized the benefit of a green military and has been working towards that. Publicly calling for them to do it would result in any politician getting laughed at when they are shown that it’s already happening.
