Sheldon Whitehouse on RW Oligarchs' Deconstruction of American Law & Their Intellectual Weaponry

6. Exactly, and it's interesting that you bring it up right now.

Because it was the U.S. Military that was the first major sector to formally write that "Climate" is the U.S.'s biggest national security threat. Yet, ironically,

Yet UN-ironically, the U.S. Military is also the biggest consumer of fossil fuel. I don't want to conspiracy theorize. I just want to say it's possible that within the military there is some inertia in supporting civilian energy politics and spending. There might be some connection between Big Fossil Dark Money and the military, and there might be a clean energy/anti-Big Fossil faction in the military.

It's reminds me of how some Big Corps donors donate to both parties.

Big Fossil contracts with the military are Big Profit, and there is ZERO return on investment to Americans when we fund the U.S. Military. The U.S. Military will likely be the last sector to give up fossil fuel, and Big Fossil probably doesn't ever want to let go of the U.S. Military.

We civilians who presume civilian rule over the military have to come up with fast and permanent solutions that break the military-industrial fossil bond. Because we civilians pay hundreds of billions of dollars to the military every year.

Break that bond, as commander-in-chief in a second term, and Biden can ALSO break Big Fossil's hold on the RW oligarchs, and their 2.5 Branches of bagmen who are bleeding democracy dry.
