The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon, part of the Biden administration’s plan to promote clean energy and “reestablish the federal government as a sustainability leader.

The Pentagon is one of 31 government sites that are receiving $104 million in Energy Department grants that are expected to double the amount of carbon-free electricity at federal facilities and create 27 megawatts of clean-energy capacity while leveraging more than $361 million in private investment, the Energy Department said.

The solar panels are among several improvements set for the Pentagon, which also will install a heat pump system and solar thermal panels to reduce reliance on natural gas and fuel oil combustion systems

    If Trump didn’t remove them why is Biden installing them again?

        You said Trump didn’t know they were there so that means that he didn’t remove them. So they’re still there? Am I missing something obvious here?

          Missing something obvious

          The pentagon and the white house are entirely different buildings.

          You don’t need to devalue yourself like this, Trump doesn’t care about you.
