I have looked into it, but there is no big push to turn the military green. No politician is talking about it.
I guess because it can’t be used for divisive purposes? Are the democrats really using climate change to “get” corporations or do they want to actually put effort into the emissions they actually control?

The military can already synthesize jet fuel from the air and the ocean.
There is not large scale move to transition to that, though.
The technology literally exists and the leaders aren’t embracing it. Make you wonder…

China is not a single entity, they’re a country of millions of individual companies and organizations.
The US military is the largest producer of emissions of any one organization/entity.

Hamstring? They haven’t been doing anything to a legitimate degree at all.
No action is confusing when they are literally the ones in control of it. Instead they focus on corporations that they don’t control.
It’s so confusing it makes me question their true motives, actually.

Never understood why Democrats never pushed to move the military past the strategically important, but limited in quantity, fossil fuels.
If they want to push the world forward, transitioning the worlds largest producer of emissions is an important start… yet it’s just a minor consideration. They have control over the worlds largest producer of emissions, and they don’t even care.

Models typically test one variant at a time, not constantly changing variables.

Not to mention, unidentified threats to national security wouldn’t be handled by fucking NASA.
What kind of joke is this? Are they just playing into the meme for political gain or are they using it as some kind of distraction? Or are they planning on releasing whatever fake story they want through these guys as if it were the truth?

Reply to Weaponized Robots Letter Calls for Policy, Tech Fixes Manufacturers’ initiative pledges no militarized robots for nonmilitary purposes by tonymmorley
In the end, our enemies will just develop them anyway, and their use will be necessary to defend against senseless aggression.
I’m not even sure this letter is a good idea. I really don’t want Russian/Chinese robots marching over all of Europe and/or Taiwan.
I can get not wanting to be the first to use them, but outright promising never to build them? Practically irresponsible.

Damn, it’s too late for one during this business cycle, then
TIL the US didn’t have the $15m to pay France for Louisiana, so they financed it through a banks in London. Napoleon had made the deal with the US to fund his war against Great Britain and Europe. Britain allowed this deal to go through only because they didn’t want France to have their NA territory
