Why The US Army, Navy, & Military Veterans Love Solar Power & Electric Vehicles
Donald Trump says he wants to create American jobs, but he is cool to the idea of renewable energy, which he claims is “too expensive.” Don’t tell that to the US military, however. Last year, the Navy broke ground on a 4 megawatt (MW) solar array at the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Mississippi and the Army completed a large 30 MW solar array at Fort Benning, Georgia.

After serving, they are also finding jobs in the solar industry.
