“Military climate policies under the Biden Administration, even if fully implemented, would not have had a measurable effect on global temperatures. But they would continue to waste hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money. Secretary Hegseth will put these funds to better use to strengthen the US military.”
The United States military has pursued an increasing number of programs to try to fight climate change for more than a decade. The Air Force, Army, and Navy each developed programs to use alternative energy and to reduce hydrocarbon-based fuels, with aggressive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction plans. But under the Trump Administration, climate change mitigation will no longer be an objective.
Earlier this month, the new Department of Defense (DoD) Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote “The Dept of Defense does not do climate change crap.…

And mining issues, even using child labor? Yes.
But it is anti-CO2 or bust to the foes of modern, prosperous living in a free society.…

I hope to leave a legacy that inspires others to continue this essential journey towards a lower carbon future, knowing that we’ve made a meaningful impact.” – John Berger (2023 winner)
Sunnova Energy is too broke to be bankrupt. John Berger has resigned as CEO of the company he founded in 2012. Billions of dollars of subsidy from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of Energy were not enough for a company engaged in legal plunder.
