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.

A blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.

From the New York Times: Trump Administration Pushes Narrative of Christian Founding at Rally
At the top of the news is the Trump’s administration’s day-long prayer event featured speakers from President Trump’s cabinet and a program that drew connections between the nation’s founding and Christianity.
However, as shown below, there is in fact no such connection.

I spend a decent amount of time on social media–enough to see the 5- to 10-fold increase in posts that are essentially long-debunked myths about solar and wind that has taken place over just the past few months.
