A new bill that would literally force the US military to transition their noncombat vehicles to electric was introduced in Congress by Democrats. The bill would require the military to transition all of their nontactical vehicles beginning October 1. The problem: The military has 174,000 noncombat vehicles.Some military leaders say that this transition will free up power for other critical systems. The legislation proposed Monday, which senators are seeking to include in the sweeping 2023 national defense policy bill, would push the military to accelerate its efforts to become more environment friendly. Sens. Hirono and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., are leading the legislation alongside Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., who introduced a companion bill in the House in April…
A subpanel of the House Armed Services Committee advanced a measure last week that would require each service branch to devise plans for transitioning every nontactical vehicle at a selected military installation to electric power by 2025. The new bill introduced on Monday
At a minimum of $55k each, that’s a huge chunk of change and taxpayers will pay for it. That doesn’t even count the charging stations that will be needed to run them, or the cost of replacement and disposal of the lithium ion batteries when they can no longer be charged (speaking of the environment). [Note: some military bases have already begun this process]. Minimum for transition of 174,000 noncombat vehicles: $9.75 Billion. And with electric vehicles it depends on the charge capacity, what kind of chargers work for that vehicle, the length of time it takes to recharge it, and how far you intend to drive with it.
Level 3 chargers are faster, in about 30-45 minutes, although that’s not the standard. Not all electric cars can handle the power. Level 1 is the slowest with least power, and level […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
