Senator Ernst voiced concerns about the requirement to transfer the military’s non-tactical vehicles to an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030. Ernst addressed this as placing “combating manmade global warming” ahead of the military’s lethality. Ernst asked if we could get there by 2030. In response, Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of the Department of Energy, answered, “I do.”<\/p>\n

Granholm’s remarks came during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing following questions from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who asked the Biden administration official whether she supports the military’s adoption of an “EV fleet by 2030.”<\/p>\n

“I do, and I think we can get there, as well,” Granholm said. “I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels where we know that global events like the war in Ukraine can jack up prices for people back home… does not contribute to energy security.”<\/p>\n

“I think energy security is achieved when we have homegrown, clean energy that is abundant like you see in Iowa,” Granholm added. “We think we can be a leader globally in how we have become energy independent.”<\/p>\n

A fleet of electric vehicles for the military — which Ernst referred to as an “expensive, unreliable product” — will reportedly cost billions of dollars.<\/p>\n

Granholm’s comments come amid a push from those at the top to put forth green energy solutions during a time of uncertainty and foreign conflict, such as Russia’s war with Ukraine and the ongoing tension between China and Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, President Biden signed an executive order “further embedding environmental justice into the work of federal agencies to achieve real, measurable progress that communities can count on.”<\/p>\n

Titled “Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All,” Biden’s order, according to the White House, makes it “clear that the pursuit of environmental justice is a duty of all executive branch agencies and should be incorporated into their missions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
