RE:RE:Earth dayFor 2017 alone, the U.S. military bought 269,230 barrels of oil a day and spent more than $8.6 billion on fuel for the Air Force, the Army, the Navy, and the Marines, and the military remains the single largest consumer of fossil fuels on the planet, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. With 800 bases around the world and the war drums and beats drumming, what kind of bad joke is this big green push unless it so the military can use even more of it. Strange you don't hear much of this fact anywhere in the media.
