John Garamendi, D-Calif., said ahead of the vote. \u201cWe build on previous efforts to address climate change with a particular focus on mitigating the department\u2019s contributions and spurring innovation in clean energy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Department of Defense is the world\u2019s largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels. It<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2021\/01\/27\/climate-change-is-now-a-national-security-priority-for-the-pentagon\/\"> started incorporating climate analysis into its wargaming last year<\/a> after<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/breaking-news\/2018\/01\/19\/national-defense-strategy-released-with-clear-priority-stay-ahead-of-russia-and-china\/\"> identifying the risks posed by climate change in its 2018 National Defense Strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon released its climate strategy in October. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/02\/08\/with-new-climate-strategy-army-aims-to-prepare-soldiers-for-harsher-environments\/\">The Army plans to install a microgrid on all its installations by 2035<\/a> and field fully electric tactical vehicles by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To that end, the readiness bill directs each service to prioritize installations that already have charging stations when launching the pilot program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full House Armed Services Committee is expected to advance the Readiness bill as part of its annual defense authorization legislation this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some Democrats have pushed to codify into law a more ambitious emissions reductions agenda for the Defense Department. Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2022\/05\/26\/key-senator-eyes-clean-energy-provisions-in-defense-authorization-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., introduced the Depend on Domestic (DOD) Clean Energy Act last month<\/a> to set Pentagon targets for reducing emissions while providing greater funding flexibility to achieve those goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duckworth told Defense News that she would like to see her legislation included in the Senate version of the defense bill, which the Armed Services Committee is set to mark up next week. Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., introduced identical legislation in the House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That bill would require the Defense Department make at least 40% of its electricity generation carbon pollution free by 2024 and increase that goal to 100% by 2030. It would also set a target of reducing emissions from Defense Department installations by 20% by 2024 with an ultimate goal of net-zero emissions by 2045.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The measure would also push the Defense Department to continue investing in alternatively fueled vehicles by setting a 100% zero emission target for non-tactical vehicle acquisitions by 2035 and the same goal for tactical vehicles by 2045.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House advanced legislation on Thursday that would require the Defense
