Biden Orders Federal Vehicles and Buildings to Use Renewable Energy by 2050

5. I expect many federal buildings have 10-year contracts

for various things including phone/network service, maintenance, utilities, etc., that might cause issues if they had to do major modifications to those contracts. So all of that has to be worked out - and if anything - Congress will have to allocate funds to do it, which would easily cause this to extend out for that 30 years, as old leases/contracts expire and new ones are put into place, plus have a scheduled phase-in of new vehicles.

Just the contracting process alone can take a year for the large ones, including getting the RFPs written up and posted and getting the bids in and reviewed, etc.

It's not going to be one of those things where nothing is done for years and then some switch is flipped in 30 years. The government will phase in things every year (that they are funded to do so) to make it more energy efficient.
