"The original subject was about a more "climate-friendly" military"

War isn't very climate or environmentally friendly to begin with, but I'd rather see us play war games with electric vehicles than with fossil fueled one. Why do you think I should pretend that we can beat them with renewables, when I don't even pretend that we can beat them with hydrocarbons? Will our green military be able to stalemate their FF ones? Yup.

Report: The U.S. Military Emits More CO2 Than Many Industrialized Nations [Infographic]

During a press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda, President Trump announced that the U.S. is going to deploy 1,000 more troops to Poland. Even though the soldiers and hardware will be taken from the 52,000-strong U.S. contingent in neighboring Germany, U.S. military deployments and operations require a great deal of energy and leave a major carbon footprint. A new report from Brown University has estimated that since the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the U.S. military has emitted 1,212 million metric tons of greenhouse gases. In 2017 alone, CO2 emissions added up to 59 million tons - more than many industrialized nations including Sweden and Switzerland.
