- Reasoning:

“The goal is to put President Obama’s clear inaugural message about climate change into action. The United States must invest more in its physical infrastructure to become more resilient to climate impacts like extreme weather, while quickly reducing our carbon emissions and shifting to safer, renewable energy…
By investing in biofuels, as well as using more solar and renewable power, U.S. military leaders are moving in the right direction.”
