The Pentagon is set to undergo significant energy improvements, including the installation of solar panels, a heat pump system, and solar thermal panels, as part of the Biden administration's clean energy push. These upgrades aim to reduce the Department of Defense's reliance on natural gas and fuel oil combustion systems. Creech Air Force Base in Nevada will also benefit from a $9 million investment to expand its solar energy infrastructure. The new installations at the Pentagon are expected to save taxpayers approximately $1.3 million annually while providing energy security and reliability.
These new solar panels and heat pumps at the Pentagon will provide energy security and reliability to the Defense Department and save taxpayers $1.3M each year. Proof that what’s good for our planet is also good for the bottom line. https://t.co/CVi1ZS9psP

Me: I want the Pentagon to focus on defending America, being ready to kill our enemies, and keeping international maritime commerce safe from terrorism. The Biden admin: “Pentagon to install solar panels on rooftop as part of Biden clean energy push” https://t.co/lG5Qjqdeu8
Nevada is a national leader in solar, and I'm excited to share that @Creech_AFB will receive $9 million to expand and improve its existing solar energy infrastructure. This is a huge investment in our efforts to improve energy resilience and transition to clean energy.
