Insanity: Biden Energy Secretary Wants All US Military Vehicles To Be Electric By 2030

As if the US military was not already crippled by woke activism at the highest levels of the Department of Defense, the latest news suggests that the nation’s military vehicle fleet will be hobbled as well.

Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, a Canadian born lawyer with no military background, testified Wednesday to the Senate Armed Services Committee that she supported requiring the United States military to move to an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030.  That’s less than seven years.

She added:

“And I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally-traded fossil fuels where we know that global events, such as the war in Ukraine, can jack up prices for people back home – it does not contribute to energy security.”

“I think energy security is achieved when we have homegrown, clean energy that is abundant, like you see in Iowa. We think we can be a leader globally in how we have become energy-independent…”

Her assertions rest on a number of fallacies.

First, Granholm does not address where the energy would come from to power the lithium based batteries that an EV fleet would rely on.  Generally, green energy options are highly inefficient and carbon based fuels are the primary source of electricity for much of the nation.  They seem to think electricity is magic, but every time a climate activist charges up their EV they are most likely using “fossil fuels” to do it.

Iowa is held up as a golden idol among climate activists for its large windmill farms that produce up to 40% of the state’s power, but such systems tend to fail under harsh conditions and are in no way portable, which makes one wonder why Granholm cited Iowa as a reference for justifying military EVs?

The advantage of gas based vehicles over EVs is obvious – There is no long wait time for recharging, refueling is instant and access to a large energy producing source is not required.  In a war zone, there are few places to plug in your Tesla Humvee.  Shifting to EVs would essentially bottleneck operations, making vehicles less independent with less range and easier to disrupt.

Second, as a side note, gas prices were rising well before the war in Ukraine due to inflation caused by government mismanagement and central bank fiat money creation.  Let’s stop trying to perpetuate the lie that Russia is somehow responsible for our economic troubles.

Third, a few years ago the US was a net exporter of crude oil, and after Biden’s entry into the White House this advantage suddenly disappeared.  This increased production along with the completion of the Keystone XL pipeline would have ensured US energy security for many years to come.  That was until the government interfered with oil output and Biden blocked Keystone.  He then began selling off US strategic oil reserves in order to artificially manipulate market prices down while depleting military resources.

It also important to realize that the lithium needed to create the batteries for EVs is primarily mined overseas in countries like China (often with child slave labor).  How does switching to EVs reliant on lithium make the US energy secure, let alone the military more capable?

Fourth, there is no evidence of a “climate crisis.”  It doesn’t exist.  So why are we talking about this at all?

There is no telling how much damage the climate agenda will ultimately do to US defensive capabilities, but the overall trend in energy is more and more centralization.  Centralization, as opposed to redundancy, leads to weakness.  The reduction of US carbon based energy and the over-reliance on a green electrical grid is expected to trigger skyrocketing consumer prices over the next several years.  Transfer this dynamic of high cost and logistical uncertainty over to the military and you have a recipe for disaster.

“Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, a Canadian born lawyer with no military background, testified Wednesday to the Senate Armed Services Committee that she supported requiring the United States military to move to an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030. That’s less than seven years.” Another avenue to incapacitate the US. Wonder if Granholm is a WEF Young Global leader. If the US military went to “all electric vehicles”, one nuclear EMP explosion in the atmosphere would disable ALL of the US military vehicles. At this point, one would think that just about everyone appointed by the Biden administration should be arrested and… Read more »

“Treason” implies that they were EVER on the side that they are betraying. They’re not traitors, they are government doing what governments have done since time immemorial.

They are not real government; they are de facto because the American people allow them in and let them continue, as peoples have done time immemorial.

I’d wager a month’s pay that she is (was) a Young Global Leader. Looks like she might be in Crowley’s class.

This would be hysterical if it weren’t for the fact that this is yet ANOTHER WAY TO MONEY LAUNDER TAX $$$$$!!!!!! Not to mention that EV’s are TRASHING THIS PLANET!!! As with EVERYTHING else, from these PSYCHOPATHS, things are OPPOSITE of what ‘they’ claim. EV’s are the OPPOSITE of ‘Green’!! WHERE are they going to bury ALL OF THOSE HUGE BATTERIES?????????? (like they BURY those WIND TURBINES!)

What enemy? The governments have no enemies except the people they “govern”. As far as wars go; drama in order to frighten and kill people.
