United States Army to have its bases go net-zero

The United States Army is going green, greener than the green on their green camouflage uniforms that is. And to do so, the force is soon to release a list of five candidate installations for conversion to net-zero status. In short, the force will have five of its bases go completely green, self-sufficient, and plugged off the grid. As a start, four army houses at Fort Bliss base in Texas will pull the plug from the grid, and the families in them will keep note of the affect. The Fort Bliss has currently shed three megawatts of power consumption and is looking forward to do more. It aims to go net-zero, meaning that it will create as much energy as it consumes.

The Army aims to develop energy security, meaning that it aims to cut off its dependence on civilian grids, which gives it a tactical advantage. The US Army sure is going greener, for the good of protection and nature at the same time!
