The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon, part of the Biden administration’s plan to promote clean energy and “reestablish the federal government as a sustainability leader.”

The Pentagon is one of 31 government sites that are receiving $104 million in Energy Department grants that are expected to double the amount of carbon-free electricity at federal facilities and create 27 megawatts of clean-energy capacity while leveraging more than $361 million in private investment, the Energy Department said.

The solar panels are among several improvements set for the Pentagon, which also will install a heat pump system and solar thermal panels to reduce reliance on natural gas and fuel oil combustion systems

    Weird how it’s called the Pentagon when it’s actually a hexagon.

        I’m learning Chinese, the only thing keeping me going is the fact more than a billion people speak it. So it can’t literally be impossible, can it?

      That took alot of confidence to post, assuming you knew better than literally every other human that came before you, but unfortunately it does indeed have 5 sides.

        Yeah, five sides is a hexagon. Hex equals five, or a magic spell.
