The Department of Defense (DoD) has partnered with Duke Energy to power five military installations in North and South Carolina with carbon-free electricity.
As part of this agreement, DoD will be the exclusive purchaser of all output generated by two new solar facilities in South Carolina.
“This is a significant step forward,” says DoD’s Brendan Owens.
“By supporting the construction of new clean, renewable energy, we are enhancing our resilience in support of the warfighter and DoD’s mission. We are also supporting President Biden’s ambitious energy, jobs and American manufacturing goals. DoD is playing our part to transform the power grid towards a strategically important resilient, clean energy future.”
The military installations being powered by the procurement include U.S. Army Fort Liberty, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina, as well as Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.
Expected to be operational in 2026, these arrays will deliver power exclusively to DoD over the agreement’s 15-year term.

Some people may be, but, to a person, the foreigners I’ve met are deeply saddened, and terrified of the consequences of the Trump regime.
Their feeling is simply that America re-elected a convicted felon, rapist, and traitor who attempted to overthrow the U.S. federal government. If we’re willing to do that, we’re capable of anything, regardless of how depraved.
I’ve never understood why those who compose total bullshit like this don’t go for the gusto. Why 95% and not 99% or 100%?
Trump’s actual approval rating among Republicans is somewhere between 75% and 80%, as can be easily verified by anyone on Earth with a cell phone or computer. That number continues to dwindle, as he faces more pressure regarding the war, gas prices, child rape, etc.
Obviously, the president’s supporters are suckers for his lies, but isn’t this a bit over the top?
I get a call every week or so from someone working for a start-up in oil exploration, hoping that I’ll invest. I guess my name and cell number got collected somehow from various online searches I’ve made.
I’m always quick to explain, “Oh, sorry, I don’t support wrecking the planet, even if I can profit from it. Neither should you. Bye now.”
